The equivalence problem for five-dimensional Levi degenerate CR manifolds
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Let M be a CR manifold of hypersurface type, which is Levi degenerate but also satisfying a k-nondegeneracy condition at all points. This might be only if dim M is greater than or equal to 5 and if dim M = 5, then k= 2 at all points. We prove that for any 5-dimensional, uniformly 2-nondegenerate CR manifold M there exists a canonical Cartan connection, modelled on a suitable projective completion of the tube over the future light cone {zin C^3: (x^1)^2+(x^2)^2-(x^3)^2 = 0, x^3>0}. This determines a complete solution to the equivalence problem for this class of CR manifolds.
While it is a classical result, going back to Cartan, Tanaka and Chern and Moser, that Levi-nondegenerate CR manifolds of hypersurface type possess a canonical Cartan connection, the same problem for Levi-degenerate CR manifolds has been open for a long time. The first instance of a uniformly Levi-degenerate CR geometry occurs in dimension 5. The authors construct a canonical Cartan connection for 5-dimensional uniformly Levi-degenerate CR manifolds. In particular, this solves the equivalence problem for this class of CR manifolds.
