Abstract

Let F:T1,0M[0,+)F: T^{1,0}M\rightarrow[0,+\infty) be a strongly convex complex Finsler metric on a complex manifold MM and J\pmb{J} the canonical complex structure on the complex manifold T1,0MT^{1,0}M. We give a geometric characterization of strongly convex K\"ahler-Berwald metrics. In particular, we prove that J\pmb{J} is horizontally parallel with respect to the Cartan connection iff FF is a K\"ahler-Berwald metric. We also prove that the Cartan connection and the Chern-Finsler connection associated to FF coincide iff J\pmb{J} is both horizontal and vertical parallel with respect to the Cartan connection. Based on these results, we give a rigidity theorem of strongly convex K\"ahler-Berwald metrics with constant holomorphic sectional curvatures.
