In this paper we study the solutions of the $Q$-curvature equation on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with $\int_MQdV_g=8\pi^2$, proving some sufficient conditions for the existence.
We consider a class of stratified groups with a CR structure and a compatible control distance. For these Lie groups we show that the space of conformal maps coincide with the space of CR and anti-CR diffeomorphisms. Furthermore, we prove…
We prove a structure theorem for closed topological manifolds of cohomogeneity one; this result corrects an oversight in the literature. We complete the equivariant classification of closed, simply connected cohomogeneity one topological…
In this article, a novel method to compute all discrete polyharmonic functions in the quarter plane for models with small steps, zero drift and a finite group is proposed. A similar method is then introduced for continuous polyharmonic…
A version of Gromov's cup product lemma in which one factor is the (1,0)-part of the differential of a continuous plurisubharmonic function is obtained. As an application, it is shown that a connected noncompact complete Kaehler manifold…
In the present paper, we show that given a compact K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$ with a K\"ahler metric $\omega$, and a complex submanifold $V\subset X$ of positive dimension, if $V$ has a holomorphic retraction structure in $X$, then any…
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 prove a Liouville theorem for the plurisubharmonic functions on complete Kaelher manifolds. As the applications, we prove a splitting theorem for complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative biscetional curvature in terms of the linear…
A torus manifold is an even-dimensional manifold acted on by a half-dimensional torus with non-empty fixed point set and some additional orientation data. It may be considered as a far-reaching generalisation of toric manifolds from…
We give an introductory account of functional determinants of elliptic operators on manifolds and Polyakov-type formulas for their infinitesimal and finite conformal variations. We relate this to extremal problems and to the Q-curvature on…
Applying the equivariant moving frames method, we construct convergent normal forms for real-analytic 5-dimensional totally nondegenerate CR submanifolds of C^4. These CR manifolds are divided into several biholomorphically inequivalent…
On a $2m$-dimensional closed manifold we investigate the existence of prescribed $Q$-curvature metrics with conical singularities. We present here a general existence and multiplicity result in the supercritical regime. To this end, we…
The purpose is to study the CR-manifold with a contact structure conformal to the Heisenberg group. In our previous work \cite{WY}, we have proved that if the $Q'$-curvature is nonnegative, and the integral of $Q'$-curvature is below the…
We study compactness and noncompactness phenomena for the CR Yamabe equation on compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. First, in dimension five we establish uniform \emph{a priori} estimates for families of positive solutions of…
We study transnormal and isoparametric functions on closed Riemannian 4-manifolds and establish fundamental restrictions on their topology and geometry. In particular, we show that such manifolds cannot be endowed with negatively curved…
Abstract deformations of the CR structure of a compact strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are encoded by complex functions on $M$. In sharp contrast with the higher dimensional case, the natural integrability condition…
Given a three dimensional pseudo-Einstein CR manifold $(M,T^{1,0}M,\theta)$, we establish an expression for the difference of determinants of the Paneitz type operators $A_{\theta}$, related to the problem of prescribing the $Q'$-curvature,…
By a conformal string in Euclidean space is meant a closed critical curve with non-constant conformal curvatures of the conformal arclength functional. We prove that (1) the set of conformal classes of conformal strings is in 1-1…
In this paper, we prove a total curvature estimate of closed hypersurfaces in simply-connected non-positively curved symmetric spaces, and as a corollary, we obtain an isoperimetric inequality for such manifolds.
In this paper we classify the simply connected, spherical pseudohermitian manifolds whose Webster metric is CR-symmetric.
