The paper flattens a non-degenerate CR singular point in complex space.

Formal Normal Form created for special CR singularities.

CR singularities in 3-manifolds can be cancelled by an isotopy supported in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of a Seifert surface.

We describe the automorphisms of a singular multicontact structure, that is a generalisation of the Martinet distribution. Such a structure is interpreted as a para-CR structure on a hypersurface M of a direct product space R^2 x R^2. We introduce the notion of a finite type singularity analogous to CR geometry and, al…

Study CR geometry surface area elements and singular Yamabe problem solutions.

This is an extensive (published) survey on CR geometry, whose major themes are: formal analytic reflection principle; generic properties of Systems of (CR) vector fields; pairs of foliations and conjugate reflection identities; Sussmann's orbit theorem; local and global aspects of holomorphic extension of CR functions;…

We address the problem of existence and uniqueness of a Levi-flat hypersurface $M$ in $C^n$ with prescribed compact boundary $S$ for $n\ge3$. The situation for $n\ge3$ differs sharply from the well studied case $n=2$. We first establish necessary conditions on $S$ at both complex and CR points, needed for the existence…

It is constructed a normal form for a class of real-smooth surfaces M\subset\mathbb{C}^{2} defined near a degenerate CR singularity.

Study on Hausdorff dimension of singular CR Yamabe problem.

We consider local CR-immersions of a strictly pseudoconvex real hypersurface $M\subset\bC^{n+1}$, near a point $p\in M$, into the unit sphere $\mathbb S\subset\bC^{n+d+1}$ with $d>0$. Our main result is that if there is such an immersion $f\colon (M,p)\to \mathbb S$ and $d < n/2$, then $f$ is {\em rigid} in the sense t…

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part we show that in odd dimension, as well as in even dimension below the critical weight (i.e. half the dimension), the logarithmic singularities of Schwartz kernels and Green kernels of conformal invariant pseudodifferential operators are linear combinations of Weyl con…

Proves a theorem similar to Moser's using a normalization method.

Paper proves nonnegativity of CR Paneitz operator for embeddable CR manifolds.

We construct a formal normal form for a real 2-codimensional submanifold $M\subset\mathbb{C}^{N+1}$ near a CR singularity approximating the sphere. This result gives a higher dimensional extension of Huang-Yin's normal form in $\mathbb{C}^{2}$.

In 4-space, cross-ratios help classify surface singularities.

Paper constructs examples of CR deformations of Lorentzian hypersurfaces.

We show that various notions of local homogeneity for CR-manifolds are equivalent. In particular, if germs at any two points of a CR-manifold are CR-equivalent, there exists a transitive local Lie group action by CR-automorphisms near every point.

Characterizes CR manifolds as critical points of an energy functional.

Study on symmetric CR geometries of hypersurface type, showing they are either flat or homogeneous.

We give a geometric derivation of Branson's Q-curvature in terms of the ambient metric associated with conformal structures; it naturally follows from the ambient metric construction of conformally invariant operators and can be applied to a large class of invariant operators. This procedure can be also applied to CR g…

We study here limit spaces $(M_α,g_α,p_α)\stackrel{GH}{\rightarrow} (Y,d_Y,p)$, where the $M_α$ have a lower Ricci curvature bound and are volume noncollapsed. Such limits $Y$ may be quite singular, however it is known that there is a subset of full measure $\cR(Y)\subseteq Y$, called {\it regular} points, along with c…

We prove that any real analytic strictly pseudoconvex CR 3-manifold is the boundary (at infinity) of a unique selfdual Einstein metric defined in a neighborhood. The proof uses a new construction of twistor space based on singular rational curves.

CR-harmonic maps defined for pseudoconvex manifolds.

Study CR immersions into Kähler manifolds, proving new theorems.

Study on cr-invariant variational problem for Legendrian curves in 3-sphere.

The purpose of this paper is to give a counterexample of Theorem 10.4 in [Ann. of Math. 102 (1975), 223-290]. In the Harvey-Lawson paper, a global result is claimed, but only a local result is proven. This theorem has had a big impact on CR geometry for almost a quarter of a century because one can use the theory of is…

The paper explores properties of CR hypersurfaces and their flatness.

In this paper we prove geometric residue theorems for bundle maps over a compact manifold. The theory developed associates residues to the singularity submanifolds of the map for any invariant polynomial. The theory is then applied to a variety of settings: smooth maps between equidimensional manifolds, CR-singularitie…

Study shows precise Szegö kernel behavior for CR manifolds with group actions.

There are proven few analogues of the Theorem of Moser using The Approximation Theorem of Artin.

Paper finds fractional Q-curvature on 3D CR sphere exists.

A local uniqueness property of holomorphic functions on real-analytic nowhere minimal CR submanifolds of higher codimension is investigated. A sufficient condition called almost minimality is given and studied. A weaker necessary condition, being contained a possibly singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurface is stu…

Solves equivalence problem for CR geometries with simple models.

We prove several theorems concerning the connection between the local CR embeddability of 3-dimensional CR manifolds, and the existence of algebraically special Maxwell and gravitational fields. We reduce the Einstein equations for spacetimes associated with such fields to a system of CR invariant equations on a 3-dime…

The study finds solutions for CR spheres with a curvature condition.

CR 3-sphere rigidity proven through curvature invariant.

A generic compact real codimension two submanifold X of C^(n+2) will have a CR structure at all but a finite number of points (failing at the complex jump points J). The main theorem of this paper gives a method of extending the CR structure on the non-jump points X-J to the jump points. We examine a Gauss map from X-J…

Study of CR Yamabe problem on toric contact manifolds.

We study a cross-ratio of four generic points of $S^3$ which comes from spherical CR geometry. We construct a homomorphism from a certain group generated by generic configurations of four points in $S^3$ to the pre-Bloch group $\mathcal {P}(\C)$. If $M$ is a $3$-dimensional spherical CR manifold with a CR triangulation…

The paper studies heat kernel asymptotics for Kohn Laplacians on CR manifolds.

We characterize Lorentzian three-dimensional hyper-CR Einstein-Weyl structures in terms of invariants of the associated third order ordinary differential equations.

Let M be a CR manifold of hypersurface type, which is Levi degenerate but also satisfying a k-nondegeneracy condition at all points. This might be only if dim M is greater than or equal to 5 and if dim M = 5, then k= 2 at all points. We prove that for any 5-dimensional, uniformly 2-nondegenerate CR manifold M there exi…

The paper constructs contact forms on a sphere with constant Webster curvature and applies them to CR Yamabe problems.

The purpose of this work is to propose a mixed Hodge structure over a CR manifold. As you know, for a CR manifold, Kohn-Rossi cohomology is naturally introduced. However, the relation between Kohn-Rossi cohomology and De Rham cohomology is not so well understood, even in Tanaka's work. We discuss this point.

Chains in CR geometry are geodesics of a Kropina metric.

In this paper, we consider real hypersurfaces $M$ in $\Bbb C^3$ (or more generally, 5-dimensional CR manifolds of hypersurface type) at uniformly Levi degenerate points, i.e. Levi degenerate points such that the rank of the Levi form is constant in a neighborhood. We also require the hypersurface to satisfy a certain s…

This paper surveys some of the known results on $δ$-ideal CR submanifolds in complex space forms, the nearly Kähler $6$-sphere and odd dimensional unit spheres. In addition, the relationship between $δ$-ideal CR submanifolds and critical points of the $λ$-bienergy is mentioned. Some topics on variational problem for th…

Let M be a smooth locally embeddable CR manifold, having some CR dimension m and some CR codimension d. We find an improved local geometric condition on M which guarantees, at a point p on M, that germs of CR distributions are smooth functions, and have extensions to germs of holomorphic functions on a full ambient nei…
