We consider in this paper an area functional defined on submanifolds of fixed degree immersed into a graded manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric. Since the expression of this area depends on the degree, not all variations are…

We introduce a new invariant, the real (logarithmic)-Kodaira dimension, that allows to distinguish smooth real algebraic surfaces up to birational diffeomorphism. As an application, we construct infinite families of smooth rational real…

We introduce the notion of extremal basis of tangent vector fields at a boundary point of finite type of a pseudo-convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Then we define the class of geometrically separated domains at a boundary point, and give a…

We reduce CR-structures on smooth elliptic and hyperbolic manifolds of CR-codimension 2 to parallelisms thus solving the problem of global equivalence for such manifolds. The parallelism that we construct is defined on a sequence of two…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^{n}$, with $n \geq 3$, be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain satisfying the symmetric eigenvalue comparability condition $D(q_0)$ for some $1\le q_0\le n-2$. We show that if the Diederich-Fornaess-index of…

We prove that a singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurface $H$ in $\mathbb C^n$ being Segre-degenerate at a point $p$ is equivalent to the existence of a so-called support curve, that is, a holomorphic curve that intersects $H$ at…

In this article, we first establish the main tool - an integral formula for Riemannian manifolds with multiple boundary components (or without boundary). This formula generalizes Reilly's original formula from \cite{Re2} and the recent…

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of dimension at least 3. Given a compact codimension 2 real analytic submanifold $M$ of $X$, that is the boundary of a compact Levi-flat hypersurface $H$, we study the regularity of $H$. Suppose that the CR…

In this paper we refine the main result of a previous paper of the author with Grimeland on derived invariants of surface algebras. We restrict to the case where the surface is a torus with one boundary component and give an easily…

Using the notion of Levi form of a smooth distribution, we discuss the local and the global problem of existence of one horizontal section of a smooth vector bundle endowed with a horizontal distribution. The analysis will lead to the…

We study invariant properties of $5$-dimensional para-CR structures whose Levi form is degenerate in precisely one direction and which are $2$-nondegenerate. We realize that two, out of three, primary (basic) para-CR invariants of such…

In this paper, we first establish the localization of the Bergman kernels for unbounded pseudoconvex domains near a D'Angelo finite type boundary point. This result was proved by Engli\v{s} more than twenty years ago for bounded…

The $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem is the fundamental boundary value problem in several complex variables. It features an elliptic operator coupled with non-coercive boundary conditions. The problem is globally regular on many, but not…
