We consider the connections $\nabla$ on the Rizza manifold (M, J, L) satisfying ${\nabla}G=0\;and\;{\nabla}J=0$. Among them, we derive a Lichnerowicz connection from the Cart an connection and characterize it in terms of torsion. Generalizing Kahler condition in Hermitian geometry, we define a Kahler condition for Rizza manifolds. For such manifolds, we show that the Cartan connection and the Lichnerowicz connection coincide and that the almost complex structure J is integrable.

In this paper, we investigate the topology of complex Finsler manifolds. For a complex Finsler manifold (M, F), we introduce a certain condition on the Finsler metric F on M. This is a generalization of Kahler condition for the Hermitian metric. Under this condition, we can produce a Kahler metric on M. This enables us to use the usual techniques in the Kahler and Riemannian geometry. We show that if the holomorphic sectional curvature of $ M is\geqC^2>0\; for\; some\; c>o,\; then\; diam(M)\leq\frac{\pi}{c}$ and hence M is compact. This is a generalization of the Bonnet\`s theorem in the Riemannian geometry.

In this paper, we deal with partially conformal geodesic transformations in Kahler geometry by using Fermi coordinates when tile submanifold is a geodesic sphere. We derive the necessary and sufficient condition for tile existence of such transformation in terms of the Jacobi operator and its derivative.

In [13], we developed a theory of complex Finsler manifolds to investigate the global geometry of complex Finsler manifolds. There we proved a version of Bonnet-Myers' theorem for complex Finsler manifolds with a certain condition on the Finsler metric which is a generalization of the Kahler condition for the Hermitian metric. In this paper, we show that if the holomorphic sectional curvature of M is ${\geq}\;c^2\;>\;0$, then M is simply connected. This is a generalization of the Synge's theorem in the Riemannian geometry and the Tsukamoto's theorem for Kahler manifolds. The main point of the proof lies in how we can circumvent the convex neighborhood theorem in the Riemannian geometry. A second variation formula of arc length for complex Finsler manifolds is also derived.
