$C_0$-positivity and a classification of closed three-dimensional CR torsion solitons

Differential Geometry 2019-03-01 v1

Abstract

A closed CR 3-manifold is said to have C0C_{0}-positive pseudohermitian curvature if (W+C0Tor)(X,X)>0(W+C_{0}Tor)(X,X)>0 for any 0XT1,0(M)0\neq X\in T_{1,0}(M). We discover an obstruction for a closed CR 3-manifold to possess C0C_{0}-positive pseudohermitian curvature. We classify closed three-dimensional CR Yamabe solitons according to C0C_{0}-positivity and C0C_{0}-negativity whenever C0=1C_{0}=1 and the potential function lies in the kernel of Paneitz operator. Moreover, we show that any closed three-dimensional CR torsion soliton must be the standard Sasakian space form. At last, we discuss the persistence of C0C_{0}-positivity along the CR torsion flow starting from a pseudo-Einstein contact form.
