Abstract
In this paper we study conjugate parallelisms and their conformal changes on Finsler manifolds. We provide sufficient conditions for a Finsler manifold endowed with two conjugate (resp. conformally conjugate) covering parallelisms to become a Berwald (resp. Wagner) manifold. As an application for Lie groups, we give a new proof for a theorem of Latifi and Razavi about bi-invariant Finsler functions being Berwald. By introducing the concept of a conformal change of a parallelism, we also obtain a conceptual proof of a theorem of Hashiguchi and Ichijyō: the class of generalized Berwald manifolds is closed under conformal change.
