A generalization and short proof of a theorem of Hano on affine vector fields

Abstract

We prove that a bounded affine vector field on a complete Finsler manifold is a Killing vector field. This generalizes the analogous result of Hano for Riemannian manifolds. Even though our result is more general, the proof is significantly simpler.
