Adopting the pullback approach to global Finsler geometry, the aim of the present paper is to provide intrinsic (coordinate-free) proofs of the existence and uniqueness theorems for the Chern (Rund) and Hashiguchi connections on a Finsler manifold. To accomplish this, we introduce and investigate the notions of semispray and nonlinear connection associated with a given regular connection, in the pullback bundle. Moreover, it is shown that for the the Chern (Rund) and Hashiguchi connections, the associated semispray coincides with the canonical spray and the associated nonlinear connection coincides with the Barthel connection. Explicit intrinsic expressions relating these connections and the Cartan connection are deduced. Although our investigation is entirely global, the local expressions of the obtained results, when calculated, coincide with the existing classical local results. We provide, for the sake of completeness and for comparison reasons, two appendices, one of them presenting a global survey of canonical linear connections in Finsler geometry and the other presenting a local survey of our global approach.

On Generalized Matsumoto Metrics with a Special $\pi$-form
For a Finsler metric with a concurrent π-vector field, bF = F^2/(F - Φ) is a conic Finsler structure exactly when F(1 + 2g(φ,φ)) - 3Φ ≠ 0, with explicit global transformation formulas for the associated geometric objects.
