Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate affinely equivalent Kähler-Finsler metrics on a complex manifold. We give two facts (1) Projectively equivalent Kähler-Finsler metrics must be affinely equivalent; (2) a Kähler-Finsler metric is a Kähler-Berwald metric if and only if it is affinely equivalent to a Kähler metric. Furthermore, we give a formula to describe the affine equivalence of two weakly Kähler-Finsler metrics.
