Strongly pseudoconvex domains (32T15) CR manifolds as boundaries of domains (32V15)

Abstract: On a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in $mathbb{C}^n$, $n>1$, the smoothness of the Cheng-Yau solution to Fefferman's complex Monge-Ampere equation up to the boundary is obstructed by a local CR invariant of the boundary. For a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{C}^2$ diffeomorphic to the ball, we prove that the global vanishing of this obstruction implies biholomorphic equivalence to the unit ball, subject to the existence of a holomorphic vector field satisfying a mild approximate tangency condition along the boundary. In particular, by considering the Euler vector field multiplied by $i$ the result applies to all domains in a large $C^1$ open neighborhood of the unit ball in $mathbb{C}^2$. The proof rests on establishing an integral identity involving the CR curvature of $partialOmega$ for any holomorphic vector field defined in a neighborhood of the boundary. The notion of ambient holomorphic vector field along the CR boundary generalizes naturally to the abstract setting, and the corresponding integral identity still holds in the case of abstract CR $3$-manifolds.

Review text

In continuation of the first part of this paper, the authors study compact obstruction flat manifolds of dimension three. As proved by \textit{C. R. Graham} [Compos. Math. 64, 133--155 (1987; Zbl 0628.32033); Lect. Notes Math. 1276, 108--135 (1987; Zbl 0626.32027)] and for each arbitrary integer \(n\in\mathbb N\), there exists a large family of local noncompact strictly pseudoconvex obstruction flat hypersurfaces in \(\mathbb C^n\) which are (locally) non-spherical. In the paper, in question, the authors study the classification of \textit{compact} strictly pseudoconvex obstruction flat hypersurfaces in \(\mathbb C^2\). In the first part of this paper, it is proved that every compact strictly pseudoconvex and obstruction flat CR \(3\)-manifold with infinitesimal symmetry is locally spherical. In the particular case of boundaries in \(\mathbb C^2\), the assumption of having an infinitesimal symmetry means the existence of a holomorphic vector field where its real part is tangent to the boundary. In the present work, the authors generalize this result in the embedded case by relaxing this assumption on the tangency of the real part of the holomorphic vector field.
