CR-invariants and the scattering operator for complex manifolds with boundary (Q2378560)

The authors describe some CR-covariant differential operators on a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold \(M\) bounding a compact complex Kähler manifold \(X\) as residues of the scattering operator for the Laplacian on \(X\). They also obtain the \(Q\)-curvature of \(M\) from the scattering operator. In order to construct the Kähler-Einstein metric on \(X\), they construct an approximate solution of the complex Monge-Ampère equation on \(X\), using Fefferman's construction for domains in \(\mathbb{C}^n\). For the notion of \(Q\)-curvature, we refer to \textit{S-Y. A. Chang, M. Eastwood, B. Ørsted} and \textit{P. C. Yang} [Acta Appl. Math. 102, No.~2--3, 119--125 (2008; Zbl 1145.53020)].
