We describe and construct here pseudo-Hermitian structures $θ$ without torsion (i.e. with transversal symmetry) whose Webster-Ricci curvature tensor is a constant multiple of the exterior differential $dθ$. We call these structures pseudo-Hermitian Einstein and our result states that they all can be derived locally fro…

In this paper, we will give a horizontal gradient estimate of positive solutions of $Δ_b u = - λu$ on complete noncompact pseudo-Hermitian manifolds.

We show that the non Hermitian Black-Scholes Hamiltonian and its various generalizations are eta-pseudo Hermitian. The metric operator eta is explicitly constructed for this class of Hamitonians. It is also shown that the effective Black-Scholes Hamiltonian and its partner form a pseudo supersymmetric system.

The covariant derivative of the Kähler form of an almost pseudo-Hermitian or of an almost para-Hermitian manifold satisfies certain algebraic relations. We show, conversely, that any 3-tensor which satisfies these algebraic relations can be realized geometrically.

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.

We determine the space of algebraic pseudo-Hermitian Kähler-Weyl curvature tensors and the space of para-Hermitian Kähler-Weyl curvature tensors in dimension 4 and show that every algebraic possibility is geometrically realizable. We establish the Gray identity for pseudo-Hermitian Weyl manifolds and for para-Hermitian…
