We use the reflection group trick to glue manifolds with corners that are Borel-Serre compactifications of locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type and obtain aspherical manifolds. We call these \emph{piecewise locally symmetric}…

We give a precise characterization when a compact homogeneous CR-solvmanifold is CR-embeddable in a Kahler manifold. Equivalently this gives a non-Kahler criterion for complex manifolds containing CR-solvmanifolds not satisfying these…

We prove the relative index conjecture, which in turn implies that the set of embeddable deformations of a strictly pseudoconvex CR-structure on a compact 3-manifold is closed in the C\infty-topology.

We study a cross-ratio of four generic points of $S^3$ which comes from spherical CR geometry. We construct a homomorphism from a certain group generated by generic configurations of four points in $S^3$ to the pre-Bloch group $\mathcal…

We classify pseudo parallel proper CR-submanifolds in a non-flat complex space form with CR-dimension greater than one. With this result, the non-existence of recurrent as well as semi parallel proper CR-submanifolds in a non-flat complex…

In this article we show that every closed orientable smooth $4$--manifold admits a smooth embedding in the complex projective $3$--space.

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 symmetric manifolds with a fixed universal covering, and construct for each such manifold M a simplicial complex R whose size is proportional to the volume of M. When M is non-compact, R is homotopically equivalent to M,…

We prove here new results about transversality and related geometric properties of a holomorphic, formal, or CR mapping, sending one generic submanifold of $\bC^N$ into another. One of our main results is that a finite mapping is…

A real 3-manifold is a smooth 3-manifold together with an orientation preserving smooth involution, which is called a real structure. A real contact 3-manifold is a real 3-manifold with a contact distribution that is antisymmetric with…

We provide an affirmative answer to the Cr Closing Lemma, r>1, for a large class of flows defined on every closed surface.

A manifold with an irreducible $SO(3)$-structure is a $5$-manifold $M$ whose structure group can be reduced to the group $SO(3)$, non-standardly imbedded in $SO(5)$. The study of such manifolds has been initiated by M. Bobie\'nski and P.…

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…

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…

We prove every oriented compact cyclic $3$-orbifold has a contact structure. There is another proof in the web by Daniel Herr in his uploaded thesis which depends on open book decompositions, ours is independent of that. We define…

We construct a Kahler structure (which we call a generalised Kahler cone) on an open subset of the cone of a strongly pseudo-convex CR manifold endowed with a 1-parameter family of compatible Sasaki structures. We determine those…

Every 1-connected topological 4-manifold M admits a $S^{1}$-covering by $#_{r-1}S^{2}\times S^{3}$, where $r=$rank$H^{2}(M;\QTR{Bbb}{Z})$.

The H-principle, which is the analogue, for CR manifolds, of the classical Hartogs principle in several complex variables, is known to be valid in the small on a pseudoconcave CR manifold of any codimension. However it fails in the large,…

We prove that the spectrum of the Kohn Laplacian does not determine the equivalence classes of CR manifolds. We construct pairs of odd-dimensional elliptic manifolds that are not equivalent as CR manifolds but whose Kohn Laplacians have the…

The equivariant CR minimal immersions from the round $3$-sphere $S^3$ into the complex projective space $\mathbb CP^n$ have been classified by the third author explicitly (J London Math Soc 68: 223-240, 2003). In this paper, by employing…
