The Flat CR Twistor Model $Q^{2,2}$ and Its Algebraic Sections

We study the flat CR twistor model $Q^{2,2}\subset \mathbb{CP}^3$ by explicit projective methods. Using the anti-holomorphic involution $j$ associated with the twistor fibration, we classify the projective lines contained in $Q^{2,2}$ into twistor fibres and transverse lines, and relate the latter to round $2$-spheres in $S^3$ through an explicit incidence--tangency correspondence. We classify hyperplane sections under the twistor-compatible symmetry group $PSp(1,1)$ and describe the induced CR geometries on $S^3$. For smooth $j$-invariant quadric sections, we obtain a complete relative classification in terms of Coxeter's inversive distance and show that, in the disjoint case, the construction yields an explicit one-parameter family of globally defined real-analytic non-spherical Levi-nondegenerate CR structures on $S^3$.

On contact and finitely Levi-nondegenerate CR algebras

We study CR-manifolds of arbitrary CR codimension, mainly focusing on Levi and contact-nondegeneracy and depth. We investigate these and other invariants in the locally homogeneous case, developing a comprehensive theory which establishes correspondences with related properties of the associated CR-algebras and, in the parabolic case, with the combinatorics of their cross-marked painted root diagrams.

On Homogeneous CR Manifolds of Arbitrary Order of Levi Nondegeneracy

This paper present homogeneous CR hypersurfaces satisfying the $CR$-invariant property of being $k$-nondegenerate for an arbitrary integer $k\geq 1$. The construction of such homogeneous manifolds are based on $CR$ algebras defined by irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{su}(2)$. An explicit study of the iterated Levi forms with their respective kernels, along with the local model equation, is given.

Projectively induced K\"ahler cones over regular Sasakian manifolds

Motivated by a conjecture in [9] we prove that the K\"ahler cone over a regular complete Sasakian manifold is Ricci-flat and projectively induced if and only if it is flat. We also obtain that, up to $\mathcal D_a$-homothetic transformations, K\"ahler cones over homogeneous compact Sasakian manifolds are projectively induced. As main tool we provide a relation between the K\"ahler potentials of the transverse K\"ahler metric and of the cone metric.

On finitely nondegenerate closed homogeneous CR manifolds

A complex flag manifold F= G /Q decomposes into finitely many real orbits under the action of a real form of G. Their embedding into F define on them CR manifold structures. We characterize the closed real orbits which are finitely nondegenerate.

CR relatives Kaehler manifolds

In this paper we show that two Kähler manifolds which do not share a Kähler submanifold, do not share either a Levi degenerate CR-submanifold with constant dimension Levi kernel. In particular, they do not share a CR-product. Further, we obtain that a Levi degenerate CR-submanifold of $\mathbb C^n$ cannot be isometrically immersed into a flag manifold.

Higher order Levi forms on homogeneous CR manifolds

We investigate the nondegeneracy of higher order Levi forms on weakly nondegenerate homogeneous $CR$ manifolds. Improving previous results, we prove that general orbits of real forms in complex flag manifolds have order less or equal $3$ and the compact ones less or equal~$2$. Finally we construct by Lee extensions weakly nondegenerate $CR$ vector bundles with arbitrary orders of nondegeneracy.

L-prolongations of graded Lie algebras

In this paper we translate the necessary and sufficient conditions of Tanaka's theorem on the finiteness of effective prolongations of a fundamental graded Lie algebras into computationally effective criteria, involving the rank of some matrices that can be explicitly constructed. Our results would apply to geometries, which are defined by assigning a structure algebra on the contact distribution.

On some classes of Z-graded Lie algebras

We study finite dimensional almost and quasi-effective prolongations of nilpotent Z-graded Lie algebras, especially focusing on those having a decomposable reductive structural subalgebra. Our assumptions generalize effectiveness and algebraicity and are appropriate to obtain Levi-Malčev and Levi-Chevalley decompositions and precisions on the heigth and other properties of the prolongations in a very natural way. In a last section we systematically present examples in which simple Lie algebras are obtained as prolongations, for reductive structural algebras of type A, B, C and D, of nilpotent Z-graded Lie algebras arising as their linear representations.

On transitive contact and $CR$ algebras

We consider locally homogeneous $CR$ manifolds and show that, under a condition only depending on their underlying contact structure, their $CR$ automorphisms form a finite dimensional Lie group.

Stochastic homogenization of maximal monotone relations and applications

We study the homogenization of a stationary random maximal monotone operator on a probability space equipped with an ergodic dynamical system. The proof relies on Fitzpatrick's variational formulation of monotone relations, on Visintin's scale integration/disintegration theory and on Tartar-Murat's compensated compactness. We provide applications to systems of PDEs with random coefficients arising in electromagnetism and in nonlinear elasticity.

Mostow's Fibration for canonical embeddings of compact homogeneous CR manifolds

We define a class of compact homogeneous CR manifolds which are bases of Mostow fibrations having total spaces equal to their canonical complex realizations and Hermitian fibers. This is used to establish isomorphisms between their tangential Cauchy-Riemann cohomology groups and the corresponding Dolbeault cohomology groups of the embeddings.
