Abstract: We discuss the maximum modulus principle, and weak unique continuation, for CR functions on an abstract almost CR manifold M. We investigate these matters under the assumption of weak pseudoconcavity, and obtain sharp results about propagation along Sussmann leaves.

Review text

An abstract almost-CR structure is weakly pseudoconcave if the trace of the Levi form vanishes with respect to some Hermitian metric on this structure. With this hypothesis the following is proved. 1. If a CR-function \(u\) is of class \(C^2\) along a Sussmann leaf and \(|u|\) attains its maximum at an interior point, then \(u\) is constant along this leaf. In particular, for an essentially pseudoconcave (weakly pseudoconcave and minimal) almost-CR manifold: If for a CR-function \(u\) of class \(C^2\) the modulus \(|u|\) has a weak local maximum, then \(u\) is constant. 2. If two continuous CR-functions coincide locally along a Sussmann leaf, then they coincide identically on this leaf. The same concerns continuous CR-sections of smooth complex CR line bundles. These results extend the previous results on maximum modulus principle and unique continuation, which were obtained under assumptions of pseudoconcavity or essential pseudoconcavity.
