J -holomorphic discs and real analytic hypersurfaces

William Alexandre, Emmanuel Mazzilli (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give in 6 a real analytic almost complex structure J , a real analytic hypersurface M and a vector v in the Levi null set at 0 of M , such that there is no germ of J -holomorphic disc γ included in M with γ ( 0 ) = 0 and γ x ( 0 ) = v , although the Levi form of M has constant rank. Then for any hypersurface M and any complex structure J , we give sufficient conditions under which there exists such a germ of disc.

Levi equation and evolution of subsets of C 2

Zbigniew Slodkowski, Giuseppe Tomassini (1996)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this Note we state some results obtained studying the evolution of compact subsets of C 2 by Levi curvature. This notion appears to be the natural extension to Complex Analysis of the notion of evolution by mean curvature.

Levi-flat invariant sets of holomorphic symplectic mappings

Xianghong Gong (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We classify four families of Levi-flat sets which are defined by quadratic polynomials and invariant under certain linear holomorphic symplectic maps. The normalization of Levi- flat real analytic sets is studied through the technique of Segre varieties. The main purpose of this paper is to apply the Levi-flat sets to the study of convergence of Birkhoff's normalization for holomorphic symplectic maps. We also establish some relationships between Levi-flat invariant sets...

Lie group structures on groups of diffeomorphisms and applications to CR manifolds

M. Salah Baouendi, Linda Preiss Rothschild, Jörg Winkelmann, Dimitri Zaitsev (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give general sufficient conditions to guarantee that a given subgroup of the group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth or real-analytic manifold has a compatible Lie group structure. These results, together with recent work concerning jet parametrization and complete systems for CR automorphisms, are then applied to determine when the global CR automorphism group of a CR manifold is a Lie group in an appropriate topology.

Liouville-type theorems for foliations with complex leaves

Giuseppe Della Sala (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we discuss various problems regarding the structure of the foliation of some foliated submanifolds S of n , in particular Levi flat ones. As a general scheme, we suppose that S is bounded along a coordinate (or a subset of coordinates), and prove that the complex leaves of its foliation are planes.

Minimal surfaces in pseudohermitian geometry

Jih-Hsin Cheng, Jenn-Fang Hwang, Andrea Malchiodi, Paul Yang (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group. We interpret the p-mean curvature not only as the tangential sublaplacian of a defining function, but also as the curvature of a characteristic curve, and as a quantity in terms of calibration geometry. As a differential equation, the p-minimal surface equation...

New examples of non-locally embeddable C R structures (with no non-constant C R distributions)

Jean-Pierre Rosay (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We construct examples of non-locally embeddable C R structures. These examples may show some improvement on previous examples by Nirenberg, and Jacobowitz and Trèves. They are based on a simple construction which consists in gluing two embedded structures. And (this is our main point) we believe that these examples are very transparent, therefore easy to work with.
