The CR Frankel conjecture is proven for spherical CR manifolds.

New curvature condition helps characterize Kähler manifolds.

In this paper, we will give an extension of Mok's theorem on the generalized Frankel conjecture under the condition of the orthogonal bisectional curvature.

In this short paper, we will give a simple and transcendental proof for Mok's theorem of the generalized Frankel conjecture. This work is based on the maximum principle in \cite{BS2} proposed by Brendle and Schoen.

The aim of this paper is to give a proof the Frankel conjecture by using the Kahler Ricci flow alone without assuming apriori the existence of Kahler Einstein metrics. However, there is an essential difference between the real case and the Kahler case. I didn't realize this difference in the calculation of the previous…

We prove some structure results for \emph{transverse reducible} Sasaki manifolds. In particular, we show Sasaki manifolds with positive Ricci curvature is transversely irreducible, and so there is no join (product) construction for irregular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, as opposed to the quasi-regular case done by Wang-Z…

In this note we provide a proof of the following: Any compact KRS with positive bisectional curvature is biholomorphic to the complex projective space. As a corollary, we obtain an alternative proof of the Frankel conjecture by using the Kähler-Ricci flow.

We construct examples of nondegenerate CR manifolds with Levi form of signature $(p,q)$, $2\leq p\leq q$, which are compact, not locally CR flat, and admit essential CR vector fields. We also construct an example of a noncompact nondegenerate CR manifold with signature $(1,n-1)$ which is not locally CR flat and admits …

CR Q-curvature flow solves CR manifold curvature conjecture.

Strong Frankel theorem for shrinkers in all dimensions.

We classify simply connected compact Sasaki manifolds of dimension $2n+1$ with positive transverse bisectional curvature. In particular, the Kähler cone corresponding to such manifolds must be bi-holomorphic to $\C^{n+1}\backslash \{0\}$. As an application we recover the Mori-Siu-Yau theorem on the Frankel conjecture a…

Researchers create higher-dimensional $\mathcal{I}^\prime$-curvatures and find counterexamples to the Hirachi conjecture.

In this paper, we prove that every real analytic totally nondegenerate model CR manifold of length >= 3 has rigidity. This result was actually conjectured before by Valerii Beloshapka as the so-called "maximum conjecture". It follows that the transformation Lie group of all CR automorphisms associated with each of the …

Proves Frankel theorem for generic submanifolds in Sasakian manifolds.

This paper mainly focuses on the CR analogue of the three-circle theorem in a complete noncompact pseudohermitian manifold of vanishing torsion being odd dimensional counterpart of Kähler geometry. In this paper, we show that the CR three-circle theorem holds if its pseudohermitian sectional curvature is nonnegative. A…

Applying Elie Cartan's classical method, we show that the biholomorphic equivalence problem to a totally nondegenerate Beloshapka's model of CR dimension one and codimension $k> 1$, whence of real dimension $2+k$, is reducible to some absolute parallelism, namely to an {e}-structure on a certain prolonged manifold of r…

Paper proves existence of nonconstant CR-holomorphic functions in Sasakian manifolds.

We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively curved, locally symmetric manifold. Another application is the classification of a…

Study finds maximal symmetry groups for CR structures with specific properties.

Using equivariant Toeplitz operator calculus, we give a new proof of the Atiyah-Weinstein conjecture on the index of Fourier integral operators and the relative index of CR structures.

Study on CR structures in 7D, proving maximal symmetry dimension.

The paper proves a stronger Frankel theorem for minimal hypersurfaces of $S^k$.

The CR analogue of B.-Y. Chen's conjecture on pseudo biharmonic maps will be shown. Pseudo biharmonic, but not pseudo harmonic, isometric immersions with parallel pseudo mean curvature vector fields, will be characterized. Several examples of pseudo biharmonic maps will be given.

A classical theorem of Frankel for compact Kähler manifolds states that a Kähler S^1-action is Hamiltonian if and only if it has fixed points. We prove a metatheorem which says that when Hodge theory holds on non-compact manifolds, then Frankel's theorem still holds. Finally, we present several concrete situations in w…

This is the very first paper to focus on the CR analogue of Yau's uniformization conjecture in a complete noncompact pseudohermitian $(2n+1)$-manifold of vanishing torsion (i.e. Sasakian manifold) which is an odd dimensional counterpart of Kähler geometry. In this paper, we mainly deal with the problem of the sharp dim…

In this paper, we derive the CR Reilly's formula and its applications to studying of the first eigenvalue estimate for CR Dirichlet eigenvalue problem and embedded p-minimal hypersurfaces. In particular, we obtain the first Dirichlet eigenvalue estimate in a compact pseudohermitian (2n+1)-manifold with boundary and the…

An index formula is proposed for contact transformations between contact manifolds equipped with CR structures or with fillings by symplectic manifolds. The formula generalizes the Atiyah-Singer formula and gives a conjectured formula for the index of Fourier integral operators, as well as Epstein's relative index for …

3-manifolds are CR uniformized on spheres, proving a conjecture.

Investigates CR structures in 7D, showing 8 is max symmetry dimension.

In this paper, we study any Kähler manifold where the positive orthogonal bisectional curvature is preserved on the Kähler Ricci flow. Naturally, we always assume that the first Chern class $C_1$ is positive. In particular, we prove that any irreducible Kähler manifold with such property must be biholomorphic to $\math…

Uniformizes CR structure on a specific 3-manifold.

Proves ropelength conjecture for alternating knots.

We prove that if an (n-1)-dimensional torus acts symplectically on a 2n-dimensional manifold, then the action has a fixed point if and only if the action is Hamiltonian. One may regard it as a symplectic version of Frankel theorem. The case of n=2 is the well known theorem of McDuff. From the well known example of McDu…

A CR manifold $M$, with CR distribution $\mathcal D^{10}\subset T^\mathbb C M$, is called {\it totally nondegenerate of depth $μ$} if: (a) the complex tangent space $T^\mathbb C M$ is generated by all complex vector fields that might be determined by iterated Lie brackets between at most $μ$ fields in $\mathcal D^{10} …

We introduce a global Cauchy-Riemann($CR$)-invariant and discuss its behavior on the moduli space of $CR$-structures. We argue that this study is related to the Smale conjecture in 3-topology and the problem of counting complex structures. Furthermore, we propose a contact-analogue of Ray-Singer's analytic torsion. Thi…

In this paper we obtain theorems of Barth-Lefschetz type in Sasakian geometry. As corollaries, this implis connectedness principle and Frankel's type theorem.

We consider a class of complete Kahler manifolds with a strictly pseudoconvex boundary at infinity. After studying its asymptotic geometry, we formulate a conjecture in the Kahler-Einstein case relating the bottom of spectrum to the CR geometry on the boundary. We prove some partial results.

The paper proves properties of robust diffeomorphisms and their invariant sets.

Rigidity theorem for critical points of Allen-Cahn equation on S³.

Study minimal hypersurfaces in manifolds with bounded Ricci curvature.

We give soft, quantitatively optimal extensions of the classical Sphere Theorem, Wilking's connectivity principle and Frankel's Theorem to the context of ${k}$-th Ricci curvature. The hypotheses are soft in the sense that they are satisfied on sets of metrics that are open in the $C^{2}$-topology.

Study CR Yamabe constant and CR structures on manifolds.

We derive an explicit formula for the well-known Chern-Moser-Weyl tensor for nondegenerate real hypersurfaces in complex space in terms of their defining functions. The formula is considerably simplified when applying to "pluriharmonic perturbations" of the sphere or to a Fefferman approximate solution to the complex M…
