Minimality in CR geometry and the CR Yamabe problem on CR manifolds with boundary
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the minimality of an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M endowed with the Webster metric (associated to a fixed contact form on M), 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.

متن کاملSome Recent Results in Cr Geometry
CR geometry originated from the study of real hypersurfaces in complex manifolds. In their foundational work Chern and Moser [CM] developed local invariants for CR manifolds. Shortly afterward Tanaka [T] and Webster [W2] introduced a canonical connection associated to a given pseudohermitian structure (i.e. a contact form), so pseudohermitian geometry was born. Today CR geometry or pseudohermit...
متن کاملGlobal Minimality of Generic Manifolds and Holomorphic Extendibility of Cr Functions
LetM be a smooth generic submanifold ofC. Several authors have studied the property of CR functions on M to extend locally to manifolds with boundary attached to M and holomorphically to generic wedges with edge M (cf. [14], [67], [68]). In a recent work ([69]), Tumanov has showed that CR-extendibility of CR functions on M propagates along curves that run in complex tangential directions to M. ...
متن کاملEmbedding of Pseudoconvex Cr Manifolds of Levi-forms with One Degenerate Eigenvalue
Suppose that M is an abstract smoothly bounded orientable CR manifold of dimension 2n − 1 with a given integrable CR structure S of dimension n− 1. Since M is orientable, there are a smooth real nonvanishing 1-form η and a smooth real vector field X0 on M so that η(X) = 0 for all X ∈ S and η(X0) = 1. We define the Levi form of S on M by iη([X ′, X ′′]), X ′, X ′′ ∈ S. We may assume that M ⊂ M̃ ,...
متن کاملCr Manifolds with Noncompact Connected Automorphism Groups
The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater than 3, it has been pointed out by D. Burns that this result follows from known results on biholomorphism groups of complex manifolds with boundary and the f...
