Characterizations of complex Finsler metrics (Q6100450)

In [\textit{G. Munteanu}, Complex spaces in Finsler, Lagrange and Hamilton geometries. Boston, MA: Kluwer Academic Publishers (2004; Zbl 1064.53047)] the canonical connection associated to a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold (\(M,F\)) was defined. In this paper the authors prove that the holomorphic sectional curvature tensors of the canonical connection coincide with those of the Chern-Finsler connection associated to \(F\) if and only if \(F\) is a Kähler-Finsler metric. They investigate the relationship of the Ricci curvatures of these two connections when \(M\) is compact. As an application, two characterizations of balanced complex Finsler metrics are given. They obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a balanced complex Finsler metric to be Kähler-Finsler and, finally, they investigate the conformal transformations of a balanced complex Finsler metric.
