We prove the Lefchetz theorem for CR submanifolds in Hermitian symmetric spaces. As an application we prove the nonexistence of real analytic Levi flat submanifolds in such manifolds.

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…

Local conditions on boundaries of $C^\infty$ Levi-flat hypersurfaces, in case the boundary is a generic submanifold, are studied. For nontrivial real analytic boundaries we get an extension and uniqueness result, which forces the hypersurface to be real analytic. This allows us to classify all real analytic generic bou…

Study relationships between submanifolds and ambient Kahler 4-manifolds' fundamental groups.

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…

We study curvature restrictions of Levi-flat real hypersurfaces in complex projective planes, whose existence is in question. We focus on its totally real Ricci curvature, the Ricci curvature of the real hypersurface in the direction of the Reeb vector field, and show that it cannot be greater than -4 along a Levi-flat…

We focus on the topology and dynamics of minimal sets and Levi-flats in surfaces of general type. Our method relies on the ergodic theory of Riemann surfaces laminations: we use harmonic measures and Lyapunov exponents. Our first result establishes that minimal sets have large Hausdorff dimension when a leaf is simply …

In this paper we prove the following theorem. Main Theorem. Let n >= 3 and m >= 3n/2 +7. Then there exists no C^m Levi-flat real hypersurface M in P_n. The condition that M is Levi-flat means that when M is locally defined by the vanishing of a C^m real-valued function f, at every point of M the restriction of d d-bar …

Let $X$ be an orientable compact Levi-flat CR manifold and let $L$ be a positive CR complex line bundle over $X$. We prove that certain microlocal conjugations of the associated Szegő kernel admits an asymptotic expansion with respect to high powers of $L$. As an application, we give a Szegő kernel proof of the Kodaira…

We give local criteria for smooth non-embeddablity of Levi-flat manifolds. For this purpose, we pose an analogue of Ueda theory on the neighborhood structure of hypersurfaces in complex manifolds with topologically trivial normal bundles.

A Lipschitz hypersurface is a hypersurface which locally is the graph of a Lipschitz function. A Lipschitz (or C^1) hypersurface is said to be Levi-flat if it is locally foliated by complex manifolds of complex dimension (n-1). We shall prove that there exist no Lipschitz Levi-flat hypersurfaces in CP^n with n >= 3. Ou…

Let $X$ be a connected complex manifold of dimension $\geq 3$ and $M$ a smooth compact Levi-flat real hypersurface in $X$. We show that the normal bundle to the Levi foliation does not admit a Hermitian metric with positive curvature along the leaves. This generalizes a result obtained by Brunella.

We derive a sufficient condition on a bounded pseudoconvex domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}^2$ with smooth boundary such that $-(-ρ)^η$ is plurisubharmonic on $Ω$ for $η>0$ arbitrarily close to $1$ (the supremum of $η$ is called Diederich-Fornæss index, see Definition (df)). This condition (see Theorem prop) extends a theore…

We prove a relation between the $\bar\partial_M$ cohomology of a minimal orbit $M$ of a real form $G_0$ of a complex semisimple Lie group $G$ in a flag manifold $G/Q$ and the Dolbeault cohomology of the Matsuki dual open orbit $X$ of the complexification $K$ of a maximal compact subgroup $K_0$ of $G_0$, under the assum…

A primary goal in this paper is to study the question that asks when a real analytic submanifold $M$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}$ bounds a real analytic (up to $M$) Levi-flat hypersurface $\hat{M}$ near $p\in M$ such that $\hat{M}$ is foliated by a family of complex hypersurfaces moving along the normal direction of $M$ at …

Let $Ω$ be a pseudoconvex domain with $C^2$-smooth boundary in $\mathbb CP^n$. We prove that the $\bar\partial-Neumann operator$N$exists for$(p,q)$-forms on$Ω$. Furthermore, there exists a$t_0>0$such that the operators$N$,$\bar\partial^*N$,$\bar\partial N$ and the Bergman projection are regular in the Sobolev …

To be prudent, the paper has been withdrawn by the authors, due an error (missing complex conjugate sign) in Equation (2.5). We are very grateful to Marco Brunella for pointed out the error.

Paper constructs solutions for a class of overdetermined systems.

The purpose of this article is to classify the real hypersurfaces in complex space forms of dimension 2 that are both Levi-flat and minimal. The main results are as follows: When the curvature of the complex space form is nonzero, there is a 1-parameter family of such hypersurfaces. Specifically, for each one-parameter…

We give a geometric characterization of certain hypersurfaces of cohomogeneity one in the complex projective and hyperbolic planes. We also obtain some partial classifications of austere hypersurfaces and of Levi-flat hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in these spaces.

We establish a version of the complex Frobenius theorem in the context of a complex subbundle S of the complexified tangent bundle of a manifold, having minimal regularity. If the subbundle S defines the structure of a Levi-flat CR-manifold, it suffices that S be Lipschitz for our results to apply. A principal tool in …

In the present paper, we associate the techniques of the Lewy-Pinchuk reflection principle with the Behnke-Sommer continuity principle. Extending a so-called reflection function to a parameterized congruence of Segre varieties, we are led to studying the envelope of holomorphy of a certain domain covered by a smooth Le…

The paper establishes boundary estimates for solutions to elliptic equations on Hermitian manifolds.

A submanifold of a Riemannian manifold is called a parallel submanifold if its second fundamental form is parallel with respect to the van der Waerden-Bortolotti connection. From submanifold point of view, parallel submanifolds are the simplest Riemannian submanifolds next to totally geodesic ones. Parallel submanifold…

We study lightlike submanifolds of indefinite statistical manifolds. Contrary to the classical theory of submanifolds of statistical manifolds, lightlike submanifolds of indefinite statistical manifolds need not to be statistical submanifold. Therefore we obtain some conditions for a lightlike submanifold of indefinite…
