Classification of homogeneous CR-manifolds in dimension 4

Complex Variables 2009-12-09 v3

Abstract

Locally homogeneous CR-manifolds in dimension 3 were classified, up to local CR-equivalence, by E.Cartan. We classify, up to local CR-equivalence, all locally homogeneous CR-manifolds in dimension 4. The classification theorem enables us also to classify all symmetric CR-manifolds in dimension 4, up to local biholomorphic equivalence. We also prove that any 4-dimensional real Lie algebra can be realized as an algebra of affine vector fields in a domain in \CC3\CC{3}, linearly independent at each point.

This is a new version, which includes a claim on realizations of 4-dimensional real Lie algebras and an Appendix with the sphericity inspection for certain homogeneous surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^3$
