There are many very famous classical metrics on the Teichmüller and the moduli spaces, among which there are three complex Finsler metrics: Teichmüller metric; Caratheodory metric; and Kobayashi metric. Recently, J.-G. Cao and Pit-Mann Wong ([]) studied Finsler geometry of projective vector bundle and proposed the following question: Suppose that M is a Kähler manifold and E is a holomorphic vector bundle over M. Is E Kähler? They gave some partial results and showed some equivalent conditions for E to be Kähler. Page of

9 Let E be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank r over a complex manifold M of complex dimension n with the natural projection π. We denote a point of E by (z, v), where z represents a point of M and v is a vector in the fibre E z = π (z) of E over z M. Let o : M E be the zero section of E and set E o = E \ {o}. Page 5 of

We denote a point of E by (z, v), where z represents a point of M and v is a vector in the fibre E z = π (z) of E over z M. Let o : M E be the zero section of E and set E o = E \ {o}. Definition. A complex Finsler metric on E is a real function G : E R which satisfies the following conditions: () G(z, v) 0, where the equality holds if and only if v = 0; () G C (E o ), that is, G is smooth in E o ; () G(z, λv) = λ G(z, v) for all (z, v) E, λ C \ {0}.

Theorem(Shen-Du,[6]). Let (M, G) be a complex Finsler manifold of dimension n and T M its holomorphic tangent bundle. Then the Hermitian metric h T M = G i j(z, v)dz i d z j + G i j(z, v)δv i δ v j on T M is Kählerian if and only if (M, G) is a Kähler manifold with zero holomorphic sectional curvature, where G i j = G v i v, i, j, n. j Moreover, we shall consider complex Randers metrics.

12 . Hermitian Metrics Let (z, v) = (z,, z n, v,, v r ) be a local coordinate system for E. A complex Finsler metric G on E is said to be strongly pseudo-convex if the complex Hessian ( ) G (G i j) = v i v j of G is positively definite on E o. In particular, if G(z, v) = h i j(z)v i v j is a Hermitian metric on E, then G(z, v) defines a strongly pseudo-convex Finsler metric on E. α, β, n; i, j, k, r. Page 6 of

13 . Hermitian Metrics Let (z, v) = (z,, z n, v,, v r ) be a local coordinate system for E. A complex Finsler metric G on E is said to be strongly pseudo-convex if the complex Hessian ( ) G (G i j) = v i v j of G is positively definite on E o. In particular, if G(z, v) = h i j(z)v i v j is a Hermitian metric on E, then G(z, v) defines a strongly pseudo-convex Finsler metric on E. α, β, n; i, j, k, r. Introduce the following notations: G,α = G z α, G i = G v i, G j = G v j, G i j = G v i v j, G, β = G z β, G i,ᾱ = G v i z α, G i j, β = G i j z β, etc., Page 6 of

A complex Finsler metric G on E is said to be strongly pseudo-convex if the complex Hessian ( ) G (G i j) = v i v j of G is positively definite on E o. In particular, if G(z, v) = h i j(z)v i v j is a Hermitian metric on E, then G(z, v) defines a strongly pseudo-convex Finsler metric on E. α, β, n; i, j, k, r. Introduce the following notations: G,α = G z α, G i = G v i, G j = G v j, G i j = G v i v j, G, β = G z β, G i,ᾱ = G v i z α, G i j, β = G i j z β, etc., In particular, we can take E = T M, the holomorphic tangent bundle of M, so that r = n.

15 Suppose that a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric G(z, v) is given on T M. The pair (M, G) is called a complex Finsler manifold. Let M = T M \ {o} denote T M without the zero section. { z, i v }( i, j n) give a local j frame field of the holomorphic tangent bundle T M of M. Page 7 of

16 Suppose that a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler metric G(z, v) is given on T M. The pair (M, G) is called a complex Finsler manifold. Let M = T M \ {o} denote T M without the zero section. { z, i v }( i, j n) give a local j frame field of the holomorphic tangent bundle T M of M. Let π : T M M denote the holomorphic tangent bundle of M. Then the differential dπ : T C M T C M of π : M M defines the vertical bundle V over M by V = kerdπ T M, which yields a holomorphic vector bundle of rank n over M. A local frame field of V is given by { v }( j n), and a j natural section ι : M V, called the radial vertical field, is well-defined for (z, v) M by ι(v) = ι(v i ( z i) z) = v i ( v i) v. Associated with G, we now define a Hermite metric on the vertical bundle V by < X, Y > v = G i j(z, v)x i Ȳ j, where (z, v) M and X, Y V v π (z, v). Page 7 of

17 Let D : Γ(V) Γ(T C M V) be the Hermitian connection of the Hermitian vector bundle (V, <, >), where Γ( ) denotes the space of smooth sections. Let denote the covariant differentiation defined by D, and define a bundle map : T M V by (X) = X ι. The horizontal bundle H over M is then defined by H = ker, which is the subbundle of T M consisting of vectors with respect to which ι is parallel. Then it is verified that T M = V H and a natural local frame field { δ δz i }, ( i n) of H is given by δ δz = i z N j i i v, N i j j = G i lg l, j = G i l G v l z. j Thus we get a local frame field { δ δz, i v }, ( i n) of T M. i Let {dz i, δv i } denote the dual frame field of { δ δz, i v }, where i δv i = dv i + N i jdz j. Page 8 of

18 Associated with the decomposition T M = V H, we have the horizontal map Θ : V H given locally by Θ( v ) = δ i δz for i n, and a natural section i χ = Θ ι : M H, called the radial horizontal field, such that χ(v i z i) = vi δ δz i. Page 9 of

19 Associated with the decomposition T M = V H, we have the horizontal map Θ : V H given locally by Θ( v ) = δ i δz for i n, and a natural section i χ = Θ ι : M H, called the radial horizontal field, such that χ(v i z i) = vi δ δz i. Using the horizontal map Θ : V H, we can transfer the Hermitian metric <, > on V to H by setting < X, Y > v =< Θ (X), Θ (Y ) > v, where (z, v) M,X, Y H v π (z, v). Then a Hermitian metric h T M on M canonically associated with G is defined by requiring H to be orthogonal to V, so that Θ : V H and χ : M H are isometric embeddings. ht M is given in local coordinates by h T M = G i j(z, v)dz i d z j + G i j(z, v)δv i δ v j.

20 . Holomorphic Curvature Then the connection form ω = (ωj i ) of the Hermitian connection D of the Hermitian vector bundle ( M, h T M ) is given by ωj i = G ki G j k = Γ i jkdz k + γjkdv i k, (.) where Γ i jk = G li G j l z k, γi jk = G li G j l v k. Page 0 of

21 . Holomorphic Curvature Then the connection form ω = (ωj i ) of the Hermitian connection D of the Hermitian vector bundle ( M, h T M ) is given by ωj i = G ki G j k = Γ i jkdz k + γjkdv i k, (.) where Γ i jk = G li G j l z k, γi jk = G li G j l v k. The curvature form Ω = (Ω i j ) of its curvature R = D D is given by Ω = (Ω i j ) = ( ω j i ), which can be written as Ω i j = κ i jk l dzk d z l +µ i jk l dzk d v l +σ i jk l dvk d z l +τ i jk l dvk d v l, where κ i jk l = Γi jk z l, σ i jk l = γi jk z l, µ i jk l = Γi jk v l, τ i jk l = γi jk v l. Page 0 of

22 Setting κ i jk l = G h jκ h ik l and τ i jk lv i = G h jτ h, we have ik l κ i jk lv i v j = ( G i j, k l + G h p G h j, lg pi, k )v i v j = G, k l + G h p G h, lg p, k, (.) τ i jk lv i = µ i jk lv i = σ i jk l v j = 0. Page of

23 Setting κ i jk l = G h jκ h ik l and τ i jk lv i = G h jτ h, we have ik l κ i jk lv i v j = ( G i j, k l + G h p G h j, lg pi, k )v i v j = G, k l + G h p G h, lg p, k, (.) τ i jk lv i = µ i jk lv i = σ i jk l v j = 0. Corresponding to the decomposition T M = V H, The differential operator d on functions is decomposed as d = d H + d V. We also decompose d H and d V into (,0)-part and (0,)-part as d H = H + H, and d V = V + V, (.) respectively, where we put H f = δf δz dz i, i V f = f v δv i for a i C function f(z, v) on T M.

Let ω be the fundamental -form of the Hermitian metric h T M, that is, ω is defined by ω(x, Y ) = h T M (X, JY ), forx, Y T c (T M). In a local coordinate system for T M, ω can be expressed as ω = G i j(z, v)dz i d z j G i j(z, v)δv i δ v j. Taking exterior differentiation of ω, we have dω = ( ){dg i j dz i d z j + dg i j δv i δ v j +G i jd(δv i ) δ v j G i jδv i d(δ v j )} := ( )(I + II + III III) Page of

Correspondingly, the coefficient of ( )d z k δv i δ v j is also 0.

33 p We know that z ( N k l v G p) = 0, from which it follows that j the coefficient of ( )dz k d z l δ v j is G k l v j + N p k δg p j δ z l δg j, k δ z l = G k l v j + v j ψ k l. Hence, the coefficient of ( )dz k d z l δv j is G k l v j + ψ k l v j. Page 6 of

Hence, the coefficient of ( )dz k d z l δv j is G k l v j + ψ k l v j. If h T M is a Kähler metric, then we have dω = 0, so that δg i j δz k dzk dz i d z j + δg i j δ z k d zk dz i d z j = 0, (.)

35 By the definition of ψ k l, one can check easily that ψ k l have the same homogeneity as G, that is, ψ k l(z, λv) = λ λψ k l(z, v), λ C. Therefore, we have from which we obtain ψ k l v j vj = ψ k l, (.) Thus, we obtain G k l v j vj = 0, G k l v j vj = 0. (.) ψ k l = 0. (.5) Page 7 of

36 By the definition of ψ k l, one can check easily that ψ k l have the same homogeneity as G, that is, Therefore, we have ψ k l(z, λv) = λ λψ k l(z, v), λ C. from which we obtain G k l v j vj = 0, Thus, we obtain Substituting (5.5) into (5.) yields that ψ k l v j vj = ψ k l, (.) G k l v j vj = 0. (.) ψ k l = 0. (.5) G k l G = 0, k l = 0, v j v j which implies that (M, G) is a Hermitian manifold. Then, by (5.), we see that (M, G) is a Kähler manifold. From (.) and (5.5) we know the holomorphic curvature K of M is zero, and the proof of the main Theorem is completed. Page 7 of

G ji = α a ji + β (α β α + β ) v i v j α F Gγ F γ bi bj α F γ ( βv i bj + βb i v j ), (5.) where det(g i j) = ( ) n F ɛγ α α β det(a i j), (5.5) γ := G + α ( β α ). Hence, G is strongly pseudo-convex if G > α ( β(v) α). Page 9 of

42 For the complex Randers metric, the coefficients of the Chern- Finsler connection are ( ) Nj i = α Nj i + ηi b k l k γ z β b k j β z j vk + β b k g ki β z, (5.6) j where η i := βv i + α b i, α N i j := a ki a l k z j vl, g ji := αa ji + (α β α + β ) v i v j α γ γ bi bj α γ ( βv i bj + βb i v j ). From this we can calculus the holomorphic curvature of the complex Randers metric. It is a technical computation which involves a lot of long-winded calculus. So, we will not dwell too much on it.
