We look at the action of finite subgroups of SU(2) on [Formula: see text], viewed as a CR manifold, both with the standard CR structure as the unit sphere in [Formula: see text] and with a perturbed CR structure known as the Rossi sphere. We show that quotient manifolds from these actions are indeed CR manifolds, and relate the order of the subgroup of SU(2) to the asymptotic distribution of the Kohn Laplacian’s eigenvalues on the quotient. We show that the order of the subgroup determines whether the quotient of the Rossi sphere by the action of that subgroup is CR embeddable. Finally, in the unperturbed case, we prove that we can determine the size of the subgroup by using the point spectrum.

AbstractWe extend the Lyapunov–Schmidt analysis of outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres in the work of S. Brendle and the second-named author [S. Brendle and M. Eichmair, Isoperimetric and Weingarten surfaces in the Schwarzschild manifold, J. Differential Geom. 94 2013, 3, 387–407] to the “far-off-center” regime and to include general Schwarzschild asymptotics. We obtain sharp existence and non-existence results for large stable constant mean curvature spheres that depend delicately on the behavior of scalar curvature at infinity.
