\(CR\)-structures on a real Lie algebra (Q5966701)

Let \(g_ 0\) be a Lie algebra, \(g=g_ 0\otimes\mathbb{C}\) be the complexification of \(g_ 0\) and \(\tau\) the conjugation of \(g\) with respect to \(g_ 0\). Then a CR-structure on \(g_ 0\) is a complex subalgebra \(q\) of \(g\) such that \(q\cap\overline q=\{0\}\), where \(\overline q=\tau q\). The authors are dealing with CR-structures of real codimension 1 and of \(k\)-torsion zero on a reductive Lie algebra. The main result says that such CR-structures are determined by CR-structures on a compact Cartan subalgebra \(h_ 0\) of \(g_ 0\) and by a direct sum of root spaces. As a consequence the authors obtain a complete description of the moduli space.
