AbstractAlmost paracontact metric manifolds are the famous examples of almost para-CR manifolds. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for such manifolds to be para-CR. Next we examine these conditions in certain subclasses of almost paracontact metric manifolds. Especially, it is shown that normal almost paracontact metric manifolds are para-CR. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for paracontact metric manifolds as well as for almost para-cosymplectic manifolds to be para-CR. We find also basic curvature identities for para-CR paracontact metric manifolds and study their consequences. Among others, we prove that any para-CR paracontact metric manifold of constant sectional curvature and of dimension greater than 3 must be para-Sasakian and its curvature equal to -1. The last assertion does not hold in dimension 3. We show that a conformally flat para-Sasakian manifold is of constant sectional curvature equal to -1. New classes of examples of para-CR manifolds are established.

There is one-to-one correspondence between contact semi-Riemannian structures ( η , ξ , φ , g ) and non-degenerate almost CR structures ( H , ϑ , J ) . In general, a non-degenerate almost CR structure is not a CR structure, that is, in general the integrability condition for H 1 , 0 : = X - i J X , X ∈ H is not satisfied. In this paper we give a survey on some known results, with the addition of some new results, on the geometry of contact semi-Riemannian manifolds, also in the context of the geometry of Levi non-degenerate almost CR manifolds of hypersurface type, emphasizing similarities and differences with respect to the Riemannian case.

We reduce CR-structures on smooth elliptic and hyperbolic manifolds of CR-codimension 2 to parallelisms thus solving the problem of global equivalence for such manifolds. The parallelism that we construct is defined on a sequence of two principal bundles over the manifold, takes values in the Lie algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms of the quadric corresponding to the Levi form of the manifold, and behaves "almost" like a Cartan connection. The construction is explicit and allows us to study the properties of the parallelism as well as those of its curvature form. It also leads to a natural class of "semi-flat" manifolds for which the two bundles reduce to a single one and the parallelism turns into a true Cartan connection. In addition, for real-analytic manifolds we describe certain local normal forms that do not require passing to bundles, but in many ways agree with the structure of the parallelism.

In this paper we show some results on homogeneous CR manifolds, proved by introducing their associated CR algebras. In particular, we give different notions of nondegeneracy (generalizing the usual notion for the Levi form) which correspond to geometrical properties for the corresponding manifolds. We also give distinguished equivariant CR fibrations for homogeneous CR manifolds. In the second part of the paper we apply these results to minimal orbits for the action of a real form of a semisimple Lie group Ĝ on a flag manifold Ĝ/Q.

Abstract For a real-analytic connected CR-hypersurface M of CR-dimension $$n\geqslant 1$$ n ⩾ 1 having a point of Levi-nondegeneracy the following alternative is demonstrated for its symmetry algebra $$\mathfrak {s}={\mathfrak {s}}(M)$$ s = s ( M ) : (i) either $$\dim {\mathfrak {s}}=n^2+4n+3$$ dim s = n 2 + 4 n + 3 and M is spherical everywhere; (ii) or $$\dim {\mathfrak {s}}\leqslant n^2+2n+2+\delta _{2,n}$$ dim s ⩽ n 2 + 2 n + 2 + δ 2 , n and in the case of equality M is spherical and has fixed signature of the Levi form in the complement to its Levi-degeneracy locus. A version of this result is proved for the Lie group of global automorphisms of M. Explicit examples of CR-hypersurfaces and their infinitesimal and global automorphisms realizing the bound in (ii) are constructed. We provide many other models with large symmetry using the technique of blow-up, in particular we realize all maximal parabolic subalgebras of the pseudo-unitary algebras as a symmetry.
