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…

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 consider canonical fibrations and algebraic geometric structures on homogeneous CR manifolds, in connection with the notion of CR algebra. We give applications to the classifications of left invariant CR structures on semisimple Lie…

Let $M$ be a cohomogeneity one manifold of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$ with one singular orbit $S_0 = G/H$. Then $M$ is $G$- diffeomorphic to the total space $G \times_H V$ of the homogeneous vector bundle over $S_0$ defined by a…

We study spin structures on compact simply-connected homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M = G/H, g) of a compact semisimple Lie group G. We classify flag manifolds F = G/H of a compact simple Lie group which are spin. This yields also…

In a recent paper, the author and I. Zelenko introduce the concept of modified CR symbols for organizing local invariants of $2$-nondegenerate CR structures. In this paper, we consider homogeneous hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^4$, a natural…

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…

We investigate CR-manifolds which are tubes M:= F x iV over general bases F in a real vector space V and characterize the k-nondegeneracy of M in terms of the real affine geometry of F. We give a method for an explicit computation of the…

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 determine a 2-codimensional CR-structure on the slit tangent bundle $T_0M$ of a Finsler manifold $(M, F)$ by imposing a condition regarding the almost complex structure $\Psi$ associated to $F$ when restricted to the structural…

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 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…

In this paper we present new examples of homogeneous 2-nondegenerate CR-manifolds of dimension 5 and give, up to local CR-equivalence, a full classification of all CR-manifolds of this type.

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…

In this paper we study holomorphically homogeneous model submanifolds CR-type (1, 3) complex space $\mathbb C^4$. One finds moduli space of five-dimensional model surfaces Bloom-Graham type ((2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1)). It is shown that there…

We investigate the nondegeneracy of higher order Levi forms on weakly nondegenerate homogeneous $CR$ manifolds. Improving previous results, we prove that general orbits of real forms in complex flag manifolds have order less or equal $3$…

We define flag structures on a real three manifold M as the choice of two complex lines on the complexified tangent space at each point of M. We suppose that the plane field defined by the complex lines is a contact plane and construct an…

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…
