The notion of the almost Hermitian Finsler manifold admitting an almost complex structure $f^i_j(x)$ was, for the first time, introduced by G. B. Rizza [8]. It is known that the almost Hermitian Finsler manifold (or a Rizza manifold) has been studied by Y. Ichijyo [2] and H. Hukui [1]. In those papers, the almost Hermitian Finsler manifold which the h-covariant derivative of the almost complex structure $f^i_j(x)$ with respect to the Cartan's Finsler connection vanishes was defined as the Kaehlerian Finsler manifold. The nearly Kaehlerian Finsler manifold was defined and studied by the former of authors [7]. The present paper is the continued study of above paper.

We introduce certain conformally invariant h-Finsler connection in a Rizza manifold. Using this connection, we find some conformally invariant Finsler tensors. The conformal flatness and the Kaehlerian Finsler manifold with respect to the above connection are investigated.

In the present paper, following the pullback approach to Finsler geometry, we study intrinsically the C^v-reducible and generalized C^v-reducible Finsler spaces. Precisely, we introduce a coordinate-free formulation of these manifolds. Then, we prove that a Finsler manifold is C^v-reducible if and only if it is C-reducible and satisfies the 𝕋-condition. We study the generalized C^v-reducible Finsler manifold with a scalar π-form 𝔸. We show that a Finsler manifold (M, L) is generalized C^v-reducible with 𝔸 if and only if it is C-reducible and 𝕋 = 𝔸. Moreover, we prove that a Landsberg generalized C^v-reducible Finsler manifold with a scalar π-form 𝔸 is Berwaldian. Finally, we consider a special C^v-reducible Finsler manifold and conclude that a Finsler manifold is a special C^v-reducible if and only if it is special semi-C-reducible with vanishing 𝕋-tensor.

For an isometric immersion $f:M{\rightarrow}{\bar{M}}$ of Finsler manifolds M into $\bar{M}$, we compare the intrinsic Chern connection on M and the induced connection on M: We find the conditions for them to coincide and generalize the equations of Gauss, Ricci and Codazzi to Finsler submanifolds. In case the ambient space is a locally Minkowskian Finsler manifold, we simplify the above equations.

The almost Hermitian Finsler structure of a Rizza manifold is an almost Hermitian structure if a special condition satisfies. In this paper, the induced Finsler connection from Moor metric is define and the some properties of a Kaehlerian Finsler manifold with respect to the induced Finsler connection from Moor metric are investigated.

In this paper, we establish a necessary condition in terms of curvature for the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of a class of almost complex Finsler manifolds. For an almost complex Finsler manifold with the condition (R), so-called Rizza manifold, we show that there exists a unique connection compatible with the metric and the almost complex structure which has the horizontal torsion in a special form. With this connection, we define a holomorphic sectional curvature. Then we show that this holomorphic sectional curvature of an almost complex submanifold is not greater than that of the ambient manifold. This fact, in turn, implies that a Rizza manifold is hyperbolic if its holomorphic sectional curvature is bounded above by -1.

A canonical Finsler connection Nr is defined by a generalized Finsler structure called a (G, N)-structure, where G is a generalized Finsler metric and N is a nonlinear connection given in a differentiable manifold, respectively. If NT is linear, then the(G, N)-structure has a linearity in a sense and is called Berwaldian. In the present paper, we discuss what it means that NT is with a vanishing hv-torsion: ${P^{i}}\;_{jk}\;=\;0$ and introduce the notion of a stronger type for linearity of a (G, N)-structure. For important examples, we finally investigate the cases of a Finsler manifold and a Rizza manifold.

Thurston, in 1986, discovered that the Schwarzian derivative has mysterious properties similar to the curvature on a manifold. After his work, there are several approaches to develop this notion on Riemannian manifolds. Here, a tensor field is identified in the study of global conformal diffeomorphisms on Finsler manifolds as a natural generalization of the Schwarzian derivative. Then, a natural definition of a Mobius mapping on Finsler manifolds is given and its properties are studied. In particular, it is shown that Mobius mappings are mappings that preserve circles and vice versa. Therefore, if a forward geodesically complete Finsler manifold admits a Mobius mapping, then the indicatrix is conformally diffeomorphic to the Euclidean sphere S^n-1 in ℝⁿ. In addition, if a forward geodesically complete absolutely homogeneous Finsler manifold of scalar flag curvature admits a non-trivial change of Mobius mapping, then it is a Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature.

We first extend the notions of weighted curvatures, including the weighted flag curvature and the weighted Ricci curvature, for a Finsler manifold with given volume form. Then we establish some basic comparison theorems for Finsler manifolds with various weighted curvature bounds. As applications, we obtain some McKean type theorems for the first eigenvalue of Finsler manifolds, some results on weighted curvature and fundamental group for Finsler manifolds, as well as an estimation of Gromov simplicial norms for reversible Finsler manifolds.

We establish the generalized Myers theorem for Finsler manifolds under integral Ricci curvature bound. More precisely, we show that the forward complete Finsler n-manifold whose part of Ricci curvature less than a positive constant is small in $L^p$-norm (for p > n/2) have bounded diameter and finite fundamental group.
