Global rigidity in CR geometry: the Schoen-Webster theorem

Differential Geometry 2007-09-14 v1

Abstract

Schoen-Webster theorem asserts a pseudoconvex CR manifold whose automorphism group acts non properly is either the standard sphere or the Heisenberg space. The purpose of this paper is to survey successive works around this result and then provide a short geometric proof in the compact case.
