We consider a regular distribution $\mathcal{D}$ in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. The Levi-Civita connection on $(M,g)$ together with the orthogonal projection allow to endow the space of sections of $\mathcal{D}$ with a natural covariant…
We study regular non-semisimple Dubrovin-Frobenius manifolds in dimensions 2,3,4. We focus on the case where the Jordan canonical form of the operator of multiplication by the Euler vector field has a single Jordan block. Our results rely…
An example is given of a hyperconvex manifold without non-constant bounded holomorphic functions, which is realized as a domain with real-analytic Levi-flat boundary in a projective surface.
We study inverse boundary problems for the advection diffusion equation on an admissible manifold, i.e. a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary of dimension $\ge 3$, which is conformally embedded in a product of the Euclidean real line…
We provide regularity results for CR-maps between real hypersurfaces in complex spaces of different dimension with a Levi-degenerate target. We address both the real-analytic and the smooth case. Our results allow immediate applications to…
Given a formally integrable almost complex structure $X$ defined on the closure of a bounded domain $D \subset \mathbb C^n$, and provided that $X$ is sufficiently close to the standard complex structure, the global Newlander-Nirenberg…
A joint generalization of real smooth as well of complex manifolds are the Cauchy-Riemann manifolds. The main objective of the paper is to inroduce a class of symmetric CR manifolds containing both classes of Riemannian and Hermitian…
Real-analytic Levi-flat codimension two CR singular submanifolds are a natural generalization to ${\mathbb{C}}^m$, $m > 2$, of Bishop surfaces in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Such submanifolds for example arise as zero sets of mixed-holomorphic…
We extend the notion of a fundamental negatively $\mathbb Z$-graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{m}_x=\bigoplus_{p\leq -1}\mathfrak{m}_x^p$ associated to any point of a Levi nondegenerate CR manifold to the class of $k$-nondegenerate CR manifolds…
The Diederich-Forn{\ae}ss worm domain, an important example of a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain without a Stein neighborhood basis, provides key counterexamples in the theory of Several Complex Variables. In this paper, we examine its…
We consider the standard Darboux space equipped with the radial symmetric contact form. We study co-orientation preserving contactomorphisms between relatively compact domains up to the boundary. We determine the contactomorphism classes…
We study normal forms of germs of singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces. We prove the existence of rigid normal forms for singular Levi-flat hypersurfaces which are defined by the vanishing of the real part of complex…
Given a (semi-Riemannian) generalised metric $\mathcal G$ and a divergence operator $\mathrm{div}$ on an exact Courant algebroid $E$, we geometrically construct a canonical generalised Levi-Civita connection $D^{\mathcal G, \mathrm{div}}$…
In this paper we study sectional curvature of invariant hyper-Hermitian metrics on simply connected 4-dimensional real Lie groups admitting invariant hypercomplex structure. We give the Levi-Civita connections and explicit formulas for…
We generalize the concept of sub-Riemannian geometry to infinite-dimensional manifolds modeled on convenient vector spaces. On a sub-Riemannian manifold $M$, the metric is defined only on a sub-bundle $\calH$ of the tangent bundle $TM$,…
We describe along the guidelines of Kohn "Quantitative estimates..." (1999), the constant E_s which is needed to control the commutator of a totally real vector field T with di-bar* in order to have Sobolev s-regularity of the Bergman…
On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…
We study the $\bar{\partial}_b$-Neumann problem for domains $\Omega$ contained in a strictly pseudoconvex manifold M^{2n+1} whose boundaries are noncharacteristic and have defining functions depending solely on the real and imaginary parts…
In 1979 J.J. Kohn gave an indirect argument via the Diederich-Forn\ae ss Theorem showing that finite D'Angelo type implies termination of the Kohn algorithm for a pseudoconvex domain with real-analytic boundary. We give here a direct…
The Leray transform and related boundary operators are studied for a class of convex Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb C^2$. Our class is self-dual; it contains some domains with less than $C^2$-smooth boundary and also some domains with smooth…
