Abstract
In this paper we study positive solutions to the CR Yamabe equation in noncompact -dimensional Sasakian manifolds with nonnegative curvature. In particular, we show that the Heisenberg group is the only (complete) Sasakian space with nonnegative Tanaka-Webster scalar curvature admitting a (nontrivial) positive solution. Moreover, under some natural assumptions, we prove this strong rigidity result in higher dimensions, extending the celebrated Jerison-Lee's result to curved manifolds.
