Let be a relatively closed subset of a Stein manifold. We prove that the -cohomology groups of Whitney forms on and of currents supported on are either zero or infinite dimensional. This yields obstructions of the existence of a generic embedding of a CR manifold into any open subset of any Stein manifold, namely by the nonvanishing but finite dimensionality of some intermediate -cohomology groups.
In the present paper, we associate the techniques of the Lewy-Pinchuk reflection principle with the Behnke-Sommer continuity principle. Extending a so-called reflection function to a parameterized congruence of Segre varieties, we are led to studying the envelope of holomorphy of a certain domain covered by a smooth Levi-flat “hat”. In our main theorem, we show that every -smooth CR diffeomorphism between two globally minimal real analytic hypersurfaces in () is real analytic at every point...
Convergence of special Green integrals for matrix factorization of the Laplace operator in is proved. Explicit formulae for solutions of -equation in strictly pseudo-convex domains in are obtained.
There is a well known one–parameter family of left invariant CR structures on . We show how purely algebraic methods can be used to explicitly compute the canonical Cartan connections associated to these structures and their curvatures. We also obtain explicit descriptions of tractor bundles and tractor connections.
We present a large class of homogeneous 2-nondegenerate CR-manifolds , both of hypersurface type and of arbitrarily high CR-codimension, with the following property: Every CR-equivalence between domains , in extends to a global real-analytic CR-automorphism of . We show that this class contains -orbits in Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type, where is a real form of the complex Lie group and has an open orbit that is a bounded symmetric domain of tube type.
This paper studies local geometry of hypersurfaces of finite multitype. Catlin’s definition of multitype is applied to a general smooth hypersurface in . We prove biholomorphic equivalence of models in dimension three and describe all biholomorphisms between such models. A finite constructive algorithm for computing multitype is described. Analogous results for decoupled hypersurfaces are given.
We survey some recent results on holomorphic or formal mappings sending real submanifolds in complex space into each other. More specifically, the approximation and convergence properties of formal CR-mappings between real-analytic CR-submanifolds will be discussed, as well as the corresponding questions in the category of real-algebraic CR-submanifolds.
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...
