We call F exponential Finsler metric. We proved that exponential Finsler metric F is locally projectively flat if and only if α is projectively flat and β is parallel with respect to α. Moreover, we proved that the Douglas tensor of expo-nential Finsler metric F vanishes if and only if β is parallel with respect to α. And from this fact, we get that if exponential Finsler metric F is the Douglas metric, then F is not only a Berwald metric, but also a Landsberg metric.展开更多

The doubly wraped product complex Finsler manifold （f2 M1 x h M2, F） of （M1, F1） and （M2, F2） is the product manifold M1 x M2 endowed with the warped product complex 2 2 Finsler metric F2 = f2F1 ＋ fl F2, where fl and f2 are positive smooth functions on M1 and M2, respectively. In this paper, the most often used complex Finsler connections, holomorphic curvature, Ricci scalar curvature, and real geodesics of the DWP-complex Finsler manifold are derived in terms of the corresponding objects of its components. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the DWP-complex Finsler manifold to be K/ihler Finsler （resp., weakly K/ihler Finsler, complex Berwald, weakly complex Berwald, complex Landsberg） manifold are ob- tained, respectively. It is proved that if （M1, F1） and （M2,F2） are projectively flat, then the DWP-complex Finsler manifold is projectively flat if and only if fl and f2 are positive constants.展开更多
