Abstract

In his paper, Some Remarks on the Conformal Equivalence of Complex Finsler Structures, Tadashi Aikou, introduces a conformal invariant θ which measures the conformal flatness of a complex Finsler structure and shows its vanishing is equivalent to the conformal flatness of the Finsler metric function. The conformal invariant θ generalizes that defined by Matsuo in the Hermitian case.
