An Obata-type theorem in CR geometry

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We discuss a sharp lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue of the sublaplacian on a closed, strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-hermitian manifold of dimension 2m+1geq5. We prove that the equality holds iff the manifold is equivalent to the CR sphere up to a scaling. The essential step is a characterization of the CR sphere when there is a nonzero function satisfying a certain overdetermined system.
