Contact geometry and CR-structures on spheres

John Bland, Tom Duchamp (1995)

Similarity:

A normal form for small CR-deformations of the standard CR-structure on the (2n+1)-sphere is presented. The space of normal forms is parameterized by a single function on the sphere. For n>1, the normal form is used to obtain explicit embeddings into n + 1 . For n=1, the cohomological obstruction to embeddability is identified.

Quaternionic and para-quaternionic CR structure on (4n+3)-dimensional manifolds

We define notion of a quaternionic and para-quaternionic CR structure on a (4n+3)-dimensional manifold M as a triple (ω1,ω2,ω3) of 1-forms such that the corresponding 2-forms satisfy some algebraic relations. We associate with such a structure an Einstein metric on M and establish relations between quaternionic CR structures, contact pseudo-metric 3-structures and pseudo-Sasakian 3-structures. Homogeneous examples of (para)-quaternionic CR manifolds are given and a reduction construction...

There are only some exceptional CR dimensions and codimensions such that the geometries enjoy a discrete classification of the pointwise types of the homogeneous models. The cases of CR dimensions n and codimensions n 2 are among the very few possibilities of the so-called parabolic geometries. Indeed, the homogeneous model turns out to be PSU(n+1,n)/P with a suitable parabolic subgroup P. We study the geometric properties of such real (2n+n 2)-dimensional submanifolds in n + n 2 for all n...
