The authors prove the Schwarz lemma from a compact complex Finsler manifold to another complex Finsler manifold and any complete complex Finsler manifold with a non-positive holomorphic curvature obeying the Hartogs phenomenon.
In this paper,we study conformal vector fields on a Randers manifold with certain curvature properties.In particular,we completely determine conformal vector fields on a Randers manifold of weakly isotropic flag curvature.
The authors consider ±(Φ, J)-holomorphic maps from Sasakian manifolds into Koihler manifolds, which can be seen as counterparts of holomorphic maps in Kiihler ge- ometry. It is proved that those maps must be harmonic and basic. Then a Schwarz lemma for those maps is obtained. On the other hand, an invariant in its basic homotopic class is obtained. Moreover, the invariant is just held in the class of basic maps.
We study a special class of Finsler metrics,namely,Matsumoto metrics F=α2α-β,whereαis a Riemannian metric andβis a 1-form on a manifold M.We prove that F is a(weak)Einstein metric if and only ifαis Ricci flat andβis a parallel 1-form with respect toα.In this case,F is Ricci flat and Berwaldian.As an application,we determine the local structure and prove the 3-dimensional rigidity theorem for a(weak)Einstein Matsumoto metric.
