Differential Geometry and Analysis on CR Manifolds (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)

The study of CR manifolds lie at the intersection of three main mathematical disciplines, partial differential equations, complex analysis in several complex variables, and differential geometry. While the complex analysis and PDEs aspect have been intensly studied in the last fifty years, much effort has been recently made to understand the differential geometric side of the subject.This monograph provides a unified presentation of several differential geometric aspects in the theory of CR manifolds and tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations. It presents topics from the Tanaka-Webster connection, a key contributor to the birth of pseudohermitian geometry, to the major differential geometric acheivements in the theory of CR manifolds, such as Fefferman's metric, pseudo-Einstein structures and the Lee conjecture, CR immersions, subelliptic harmonic maps as a local manifestation of pseudoharmonic maps from a CR manifold, Yang-Mills fields on CR manifolds, to name several. It also aims at explaining how certain results from analysis are employed in CR geometry. results and stimulating unproved statements and comments referring to the most recent aspects of the theory, this monograph is suitable for researchers and graduate students in differential geometry, complex analysis, and PDEs.
