On stability of CR-mappings between nilpotent Lie groups of step two.
In this paper we develop a method to compute the Burns-Epstein invariant of a spherical CR homology sphere, up to an integer, from its holonomy representation. As an application, we give a formula for the Burns-Epstein invariant, modulo an integer, of a spherical CR structure on a Seifert fibered homology sphere in terms of its holonomy representation.
For large classes of complex Banach spaces (mainly operator spaces) we consider orbits of finite rank elements under the group of linear isometries. These are (in general) real-analytic submanifolds of infinite dimension but of finite CR-codimension. We compute the polynomial convex hull of such orbits explicitly and show as main result that every continuous CR-function on has a unique extension to the polynomial convex hull which is holomorphic in a certain sense. This generalizes to infinite...
Let M be a generic CR submanifold in , m = CR dim M ≥ 1, n = codim M ≥ 1, d = dim M = 2m + n. A CR meromorphic mapping (in the sense of Harvey-Lawson) is a triple , where: 1) is a ¹-smooth mapping defined over a dense open subset of M with values in a projective manifold Y; 2) the closure of its graph in defines an oriented scarred ¹-smooth CR manifold of CR dimension m (i.e. CR outside a closed thin set) and 3) in the sense of currents. We prove that extends meromorphically to a wedge...
We show that no compact Levi-flat CR manifold of CR codimension one admits a continuous CR function which is nonconstant along leaves of the Levi foliation. We also prove the nonexistence of certain CR functions on a neighborhood of a compact leaf of some Levi-flat CR 3-manifolds, and apply it to showing that some foliated 3-manifolds cannot be embedded as smooth Levi-flat real hypersurfaces in complex surfaces.
The rigidity properties of the local invariants of real algebraic Cauchy-Riemann structures imposes upon holomorphic mappings some global rational properties (Poincaré 1907) or more generally algebraic ones (Webster 1977). Our principal goal will be to unify the classical or recent results in the subject, building on a study of the transcendence degree, to discuss also the usual assumption of minimality in the sense of Tumanov, in arbitrary dimension, without rank assumption and for holomorphic...
We compute the Levi form of the logarithm of the distance function for real hypersurfaces in two dimensional complex tori, and discuss the characterization of Levi flat hypersurfaces there.
