We review properties of so-called special conformal Killing tensors on a Riemannian manifold (Q,g) and the way they give rise to a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure on the tangent bundle TQ. We then address the question of generalizing this concept to a Finsler space, where the metric tensor field comes f...
