Abstract
In this note, adopting the pullback formalism of global Finsler geometry, we show by a
counterexample that the kernel KerR of the h-curvature R of the Cartan connection and
the associated nullity distribution NR do not coincide, contrary to a result of Akbar-Zadeh
(given in the article that appears in the title). We also give sufficient conditions for KerR
and NR to coincide.
