Abstract

We study the fillability (or embeddability) of 3-dimensional CRCR structures under the geometric flows. Suppose we can solve a certain second order equation for the geometric quantity associated to the flow. Then we prove that if the initial CRCR structure is fillable, then it keeps having the same property as long as the flow has a solution. We discuss the situation for the torsion flow and the Cartan flow. In the second part, we show that the above mentioned second order operator is used to express a tangency condition for the space of all fillable or embeddable CRCR structures at one embedded in C2.\mathbb{C}^{2}.
