Characterization of strongly convex Kähler-Berwald metrics

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