In this paper we show some results on homogeneous CR manifolds, proved by introducing their associated CR algebras. In particular, we give different notions of nondegeneracy (generalizing the usual notion for the Levi form) which correspond…

We classify all compact simply connected homogeneous CR manifolds $M$ of codimension one and with non-degenerate Levi form up to CR equivalence. The classification is based on our previous results and on a description of the maximal…

Germs of locally homogeneous CR manifolds M can be characterized in terms of certain algebraic data, e.g., by CR-algebras. We give an explicit formula which relates the Levi form of such an M and its higher order analogues to the Lie…

An almost para-CR structure on a manifold $M$ is given by a distribution $HM \subset TM$ together with a field $K \in \Gamma({\rm End}(HM))$ of involutive endomorphisms of $HM$. If $K$ satisfies an integrability condition, then $(HM,K)$ is…

An explicit classification of simply connected compact homogeneous CR manifolds G/L of codimension one, with non-degenerate Levi form, is given. There are three classes of such manifolds: a) the standard CR homogeneous manifolds which are…

We give a classification of homogeneous Riemannian structures on (non locally symmetric) $3$-dimensional Lie groups equipped with left invariant Riemannian metrics. This work together with classifications due to previous works yields a…

We consider a class of compact homogeneous CR manifolds, that we call $\mathfrak n$-reductive, which includes the orbits of minimal dimension of a compact Lie group $K_0$ in an algebraic homogeneous variety of its complexification $K$. For…

We study, from the point of view of CR geometry, the orbits M of a real form G of a complex semisimple Lie group G in a complex flag manifold G/Q. In particular we characterize those that are of finite type and satisfy some Levi…

Fibrations methods which were previously used for complex homogeneous spaces and CR-homogenous spaces of special types ([HO1], [AHR], [HR],[R]}) are developed in a general framework. These include the $\lie g$-anticanonical fibration in the…

We study CR-manifolds of arbitrary CR codimension, mainly focusing on Levi and contact-nondegeneracy and depth. We investigate these and other invariants in the locally homogeneous case, developing a comprehensive theory which establishes…

In this article, we solve the equivalence problem for 2--nondegenerate CR geometries that have (at every point) a homogeneous space $G/H$ as a maximally symmetric model for $G$ simple real Lie group of CR automorphisms. This completes the…

In this companion paper to our article {\em Accidental CR structures} (arxiv.org, January 2023), thought of as an appendix not submitted for publication, we provide complete explicit lists of infinitesimal CR automorphisms for the concerned…

A procedure for the algebraization of a $CR$-manifold and its holomorphic automorphisms is described. Examples of the application of algebraization are considered. Questions arising in connection with the algebraization of a $CR$-manifold…

We consider locally homogeneous $CR$ manifolds and show that, under a condition only depending on their underlying contact structure, their $CR$ automorphisms form a finite dimensional Lie group.

We show that the vanishing of the higher dimensional homology groups of a manifold ensures that every almost CR structure of codimension $k$ may be homotoped to a CR structure. This result is proved by adapting a method due to Haefliger…

We classify the normal CR structures on $S^3$ and their automorphism groups. Together with [3], this closes the classification of normal CR structures on contact 3-manifolds. We give a criterion to compare 2 normal CR structures, and we…

We define a class of compact homogeneous CR manifolds which are bases of Mostow fibrations having total spaces equal to their canonical complex realizations and Hermitian fibers. This is used to establish isomorphisms between their…

This paper present homogeneous CR hypersurfaces satisfying the $CR$-invariant property of being $k$-nondegenerate for an arbitrary integer $k\geq 1$. The construction of such homogeneous manifolds are based on $CR$ algebras defined by…

We define a CR structure on a distinguished hyperplane in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ and the CR sub-Laplacian on this CR manifold. We also define symmetries of the CR sub-Laplacian in general and for this special case construct all of them using…

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…
