Abstract

In this paper, we apply Zermelo's problem of navigation on Riemannian manifolds to Hermitian manifolds. Using a similar technique with which we define a Randers metric in a Finsler manifold by perturbing Riemannian metric with a vector field, we construct an $(a,b,f)$-metric in a Rizza manifold from a Hermitian metric and a given vector field.
