We develop the natural tractor calculi associated to conformal and CR structures as a fundamental tool for the study of Fefferman's construction of a canonical conformal class on the total space of a circle bundle over a non--degenerate CR manifold of hypersurface type. In particular we construct and treat the basic ob…

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} …

A helical CR structure is a decomposition of a real Euclidean space into an even-dimensional horizontal subspace and its orthogonal vertical complement, together with an almost complex structure on the horizontal space and a marked vector in the vertical space. We prove an equivalence between such structures and step t…

Let $ \B^{n+1} \subset \C^{n+1}$ be the unit ball in a complex Euclidean space, and let $ Σ^n = \partial \B^{n+1} = S^{2n+1}$.

Survey on CR Paneitz operator and manifold embeddability.

In this note, we mainly focus on the existence of pseudo-Einstein contact forms, an upper bound eigenvalue estimate for the CR Paneitz operator and its applications to the uniformization theorem for Sasakian space form in an embeddable closed strictly pseudoconvex CR 3-manifold. Firstly, the existence of pseudo-Einstei…

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 …

Study of CR-submanifolds in various Lorentzian manifolds.

In this paper we prove new embedding results for compactly supported deformations of $CR$ submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^{n+d}$: We show that if $M$ is a $2$-pseudoconcave $CR$ submanifold of type $(n,d)$ in $\mathbb{C}^{n+d}$, then any compactly supported $CR$ deformation stays in the space of globally $CR$ embeddable in…

Suppose $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are $3$-dimensional closed (compact without boundary) CR manifolds with positive CR Yamabe constant. In this note, we show that the connected sum of $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ also admits a CR structure with positive CR Yamabe constant.

Suppose $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are two closed (compact with no boundary) spherical CR manifolds with positive CR Yamabe constant. In this note, we show that the connected sum of $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ also admits a spherical CR structure with positive CR Yamabe constant.

Defines Lewy curves in para-CR geometry and characterizes their path geometries.

We develop the notion of renormalized energy in CR geometry, for maps from a strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian manifold to a Riemannian manifold. This energy is a CR invariant functional, whose critical points, which we call CR-harmonic maps, satisfy a CR covariant subelliptic partial differential equation. The cor…

We study the minimality of an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold endowed with the Webster metric hence formulate a version of the CR Yamabe problem for CR manifolds-with-boundary. This is shown to be a nonlinear subelliptic problem of variational origin.

The paper introduces a statistical version of contact CR-product for Sasakian statistical manifolds.

We extend the notions of CR GJMS operators and Q-curvature to the case of partially integrable CR structures. The total integral of the CR Q-curvature turns out to be a global invariant of compact nondegenerate partially integrable CR manifolds equipped with an orientation of the bundle of contact forms, which is nontr…

This paper studies CR geometry of transversal curves in the 3-sphere.

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…

We consider canonical fibrations and algebraic geometric structures on homogeneous CR manifolds, in connection with the notion of CR algebra. We give applications to the classifications of left invariant CR structures on semisimple Lie groups and of CR-symmetric structures on complete flag varieties.

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 chains in 3D CR and para-CR structures.

We develop a complete local theory for CR embedded submanifolds of CR manifolds in a way which parallels the Ricci calculus for Riemannian submanifold theory. In particular, we establish the subtle relationship between the submanifold and ambient standard tractor bundles, allowing us to relate the respective normal Car…

Study on CR structures on 3D Lie groups, focusing on equivalence and closed chains.

We give a condition which ensures that the Paneitz operator of an embedded three-dimensional CR manifold is nonnegative and has kernel consisting only of the CR pluriharmonic functions. Our condition requires uniform positivity of the Webster scalar curvature and the stability of the CR pluriharmonic functions for a re…

We consider a class of stratified groups with a CR structure and a compatible control distance. For these Lie groups we show that the space of conformal maps coincide with the space of CR and anti-CR diffeomorphisms. Furthermore, we prove that on products of such groups, all CR and anti-CR maps are product maps, up to …

New invariant for CR maps from spheres discovered.

Let M^3 be a closed CR 3-manifold. In this paper we derive a Bochner formula for the Kohn Laplacian in which the pseudo-hermitian torsion plays no role. By means of this formula we show that the non-zero eigenvalues of the Kohn Laplacian are bounded below by a positive constant provided the CR Paneitz operator is non-n…
