We are interested in the impact of entropies on the geometry of a hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold. In fact, we will be able to compare the volume entropy of a hypersurface with that of the ambient manifold, provided some geometric…

We prove smooth and analytic versions of the classical Schwarz reflection principle for transversal CR mappings between two CR manifolds of hypersurface type.

Polarized and $G$-polarized CR manifolds are smooth manifolds endowed with a double structure: a real foliation $\Cal F$ (given by the action of a Lie group $G$ in the $G$-polarized case) and a transverse CR distribution $(E,J)$. Polarized…

Let $M$ be a generic CR submanifold in $\C^{m+n}$, $m= CRdim M \geq 1$,$n=codim M \geq 1$, $d=dim M = 2m+n$. A CR meromorphic mapping (in the sense of Harvey-Lawson) is a triple $(f,{\cal D}_f, [\Gamma_f])$, where: 1. $f: {\cal D}_f \to Y$…

We characterize homogeneous three-dimensional CR manifolds, in particular Rossi spheres, as critical points of a certain energy functional that depends on the Webster curvature and torsion of the pseudohermitian structure.

Let $M \subset {\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 2$, be a real codimension two CR singular real-analytic submanifold that is nondegenerate and holomorphically flat. We prove that every real-analytic function on $M$ that is CR outside the CR…

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…

We establish compactness estimates for $\overline{\partial}_{b}$ on a compact pseudoconvex CR-submanifold of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of hypersurface type that satisfies property(P). When the submanifold is orientable, these estimates were proved…

For certain bordered submanifolds $M\subset\CC^2$ we show that $M$ can be embedded properly and holomorphically into $\CC^2$. An application is that any subset of a torus with two boundary components can be embedded properly into $\CC^2$.

We prove that if two real-analytic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ are equivalent formally, then they are also $C^\infty$ CR-equivalent at the respective point. As a corollary, we prove that all formal equivalences between real-algebraic…

We classify all maximal symmetry models of CR dimension 1, depending on their Bloom-Graham and Tanaka types, give coordinate realization to some of those models and prove a general extension principle.

In this paper, we study the global geometry of complete, constant mean curvature hypersurfaces embedded in n-manifolds. More precisely, we give conditions that imply properness of such surfaces and prove the existence of fixed size…

We consider the class of Levi nondegenerate hypersurfaces $M$ in $\bC^{n+1}$ that admit a local (CR transversal) embedding, near a point $p\in M$, into a standard nondegenerate hyperquadric in $\Bbb C^{N+1}$ with codimension $k:=N-n$ small…

The article starts with some introductory material about resolution graphs of normal surface singularities (definitions, topological/homological properties, etc). We then discuss the case when the normal surface singularity is an N-fold…

We consider canonical fibrations and algebraic geometric structures on homogeneous CR manifolds, in connection with the notion of CR algebra. We give applications to the classifications of left invariant CR structures on semisimple Lie…

In this paper we shall give sufficient conditions for local CR diffeomorphisms between two real analytic submanifolds of $\Bbb C^N$ to be determined by finitely many derivatives at finitely many points. These conditions will also be shown…

A helical CR structure is a decomposition of a real Euclidean space into an even-dimensional horizontal subspace and its orthogonal vertical complement, together with an almost complex structure on the horizontal space and a marked vector…

Let E be a generic real submanifold of an almost complex manifold. The geometry of Bishop discs attached to E is studied in terms of the Levi form of E.

Let V be a real hypersurface of class C^k, k>=3, in a complex manifold M of complex dimension n+1, HT(V) the holomorphic tangent bundle to V giving the induced CR structure on V. Let \theta be a contact form for (V,HT(V)), \xi_0 the Reeb…

It is proved that CR functions on a quadratic cone M in $\C^n$, n>1, admit one-sided holomorphic extension if and only if M does not have two-sided support, a geometric condition on M which generalizes minimality in the sense of Tumanov. A…
