Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in $C^2$ with a smooth, connected and compact boundary M and having a CR structure $J_0$ induced from $C^2$. Assume this CR structure has zero Webster torsion. Then if we deform the CR structure through real-analytic dependence on the deformation parameter and such that each deformed structure along the deformation path is smooth and embeddable in $C^2$, we show that for small deformations of the CR structure $J$ from $J_0$, the associated CR Paneitz operator for $J$ is non-negative. We also show that the Webster curvature for any ellipsoid in $C^2$ is positive. The results in this paper complement and provide partial converses to our earlier paper, (to appear Duke Math. J.) arxiv: 1007.5020.
