Normalizes pseudo-Einstein contact forms for easier analysis.

A pseudo-Einstein contact form plays a crucial role in defining some global invariants of closed strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. In this paper, we prove that the existence of a pseudo-Einstein contact form is preserved under deformations as a real hypersurface in a fixed complex manifold of complex dimension at lea…

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…

Defines and proves CR invariants on five-manifolds.

We establish an algorithm which computes formulae for the CR GJMS operators, the $P^\prime$-operator, and the $Q^\prime$-curvature in terms of CR tractors. When applied to torsion-free pseudo-Einstein contact forms, this algorithm both gives an explicit factorisation of the CR GJMS operators and the $P^\prime$-operator…

We construct contact forms with constant $Q^\prime$-curvature on compact three-dimensional CR manifolds which admit a pseudo-Einstein contact form and satisfy some natural positivity conditions. These contact forms are obtained by minimizing the CR analogue of the $II$-functional from conformal geometry. Two crucial st…

The $Q$-prime curvature is a local invariant of pseudo-Einstein contact forms on integrable strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. The transformation law of the $Q$-prime curvature under scaling is given in terms of a differential operator, called the $P$-prime operator, acting on the space of CR pluriharmonic functions. …

We show that any contact form whose Fefferman metric admits a nonzero parallel vector field is pseudo-Einstein of constant pseudohermitian scalar curvature. As an application we compute the curvature groups of the total space of the canonical circle bundle over a CR manifold.

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

In this paper, we study a general almost Schur Lemma on pseudo-Hermitian (2n+1)-manifolds $(M,J,θ)$ for $n\geq2$. When the equality of almost Schur inequality holds, we derive the contact form $θ$ is pseudo-Einstein and the pseudo-Hermitian scalar curvature is constant.

The nonnegativity of the CR Paneitz operator plays a crucial role in three-dimensional CR geometry. In this paper, we prove this nonnegativity for embeddable CR manifolds. This result and previous works give an affirmative solution of the CR Yamabe problem for embeddable CR manifolds. We also show the existence of a co…

New CR invariant treatment of Rumin complex via differential forms.

In this paper, we study contact forms on the three- dimensional Heisenberg manifold with its standard CR structure. We discover that the $Q'$-curvature, introduced by Branson, Fontana and Morpurgo [BFM13] on the CR three-sphere and then generalized to any pseudo-Einstein CR three manifold by Case and Yang [CY95], contr…

In this note, we first give a criterion of pseudo-Einstein contact forms and then affirm the CR analogue of Frankel conjecture in a closed, spherical, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold of nonnegative pseudohermitian curvature on the space of smooth representatives of the first Kohn-Rossi cohomology group. Moreover, we …

Given a three dimensional pseudo-Einstein CR manifold $(M,T^{1,0}M,θ)$, we study the existence of a contact structure conformal to $θ$ for which the logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev (LHLS) inequality holds. Our approach closely follows \cite{Ok1} in the Riemannian setting. For this purpose, we introduce the notion …

Let $M$ be a real hypersurface of a complex space form $M^n(c)$, $c\neq0$, $n\geq 3$. We show that the Ricci tensor $S$ of $M$ satisfies $S(X,Y)=ag(X,Y)$ for any vector fields $X$ and $Y$ on the holomorphic distribution, $a$ being a constant, if and only if $M$ is a pseudo-Einstein real hypersurface.

The orthogonal decomposition of the Webster curvature provides us a way to characterize some canonical metrics on a pseudo-Hermitian manifold. We derive some subelliptic differential inequalities from the Weitzenböck formulas for the traceless pseudo-Hermitian Ricci tensor and the Chern-Moser tensor of Sasakian manifol…

A closed CR 3-manifold is said to have $C_{0}$-positive pseudohermitian curvature if $(W+C_{0}Tor)(X,X)>0$ for any $0\neq X\in T_{1,0}(M)$. We discover an obstruction for a closed CR 3-manifold to possess $C_{0}$-positive pseudohermitian curvature. We classify closed three-dimensional CR Yamabe solitons according to $C…

The paper studies a flow to prescribe curvature on CR manifolds.

Study on pseudo-Einstein 3-manifolds, calculating determinant changes under conformal transformations.

With the help of a generalization of the Fermat principle in general relativity, we show that chains in CR geometry are geodesics of a certain Kropina metric constructed from the CR structure. We study the projective equivalence of Kropina metrics and show that if the kernel distributions of the corresponding 1-forms a…

A real hypersurface in the complex quadric $Q^m=SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2$ is said to be $\mathfrak A$-principal if its unit normal vector field is singular of type $\mathfrak A$-principal everywhere. In this paper, we show that a $\mathfrak A$-principal Hopf hypersurface in $Q^m$, $m\geq3$ is an open part of a tube around a t…

Study on gradient pseudo-Ricci solitons on real hypersurfaces.

In this paper we study the problem of prescribing the $\bar Q^{\prime}$-curvature on pseudo-Einstein CR 3-manifolds. In the first stage we study the problem in the compact setting and we show that under natural assumptions, one can prescribe any positive CR pluriharmonic function. In the second stage we study the probl…

The paper finds a contact form on SL(2p) for p > 1.

If a closed 3-manifold M supports a closed, nonsingular, irrational 1-form which linearly deforms into contact forms, then M supports a K-contact form. On the 3-torus, a closed nonsingular 1-form deforms linearly into contact forms if and only if it is a fibration 1-form. on any other 2-torus bundle over the circle, ev…

3D contact manifolds have optimal higher systolic ratios.

We introduce curvature-adapted foliations of complex hyperbolic space and study some of their properties. Generalized pseudo-Einstein hypersurfaces of complex hyperbolic space are classified. Analogous results for curvature-adapted hypersurfaces of quaternionic hyperbolic space are also obtained.

The paper classifies K-contact forms on 3-manifolds and connects their orbits to spectral invariants.

If a contact form on a (2n+1)-dimensional closed contact manifold admits closed Reeb orbits, then its systolic ration is defined to be the quotient of (n+1)th power of the shortest period of Reeb orbits by the contact volume. We prove that every co-orientable contact structure on any closed contact manifold admits a co…

Local normal forms for symmetrical contact structures on 3-manifolds.

The systolic ratio of a contact form on a closed three-manifold is the quotient of the square of the shortest period of closed Reeb orbits by the contact volume. We show that every co-orientable contact structure on any closed three-manifold is defined by a contact form with arbitrarily large systolic ratio. This shows…

New systolic inequality for 3D contact forms on Seifert bundles.

This thesis extends contact structures to differentiable stacks using line bundle-valued 1-forms.

We prove Gray--Moser stability theorems for complementary pairs of forms of constant class defining symplectic pairs, contact-symplectic pairs and contact pairs. We also consider the case of contact-symplectic and contact-contact structures, in which the constant class condition on a one-form is replaced by the conditi…

Symplectic capacities of domains near balls are well-defined, but not for all $C^1$-close domains.

Certain basic inequalities between intrinsic and extrinsic invariants for a submanifold in a (k, m)-contact space form are obtained. As applications we get some results for invariant submanifolds in a (k,m)-contact space form.

Sharp systolic inequality for invariant tight contact forms on S1-bundles over S2.

Study on contact forms with constant curvature on CR manifolds.

The systolic ratio of a contact form $α$ on the three-sphere is the quantity \[ ρ_{\mathrm{sys}}(α) = \frac{T_{\min}(α)^2}{\mathrm{vol}(S^3,α\wedge dα)}, \] where $T_{\min}(α)$ is the minimal period of closed Reeb orbits on $(S^3,α)$. A Zoll contact form is a contact form such that all the orbits of the corresponding R…

Paper proves inequalities for forms on sub-Riemannian manifolds.

We prove that the total CR $Q$-curvature vanishes for any compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold. We also prove the formal self-adjointness of the $P^\prime$-operator and the CR invariance of the total $Q^\prime$-curvature for any pseudo-Einstein manifold without the assumption that it bounds a Stein manifold.
