The paper investigates the (non)existence of compact quotients, by a discrete subgroup, of the homogeneous almost-complex strongly-pseudoconvex manifolds disconvered and classified by Gaussier-Sukhov and K.-H. Lee.
This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic exhaustion f
unction. Let u be an (upper semi-continuous) J-plurisubharmonic function on X. Then there exists a sequence {u_j} of smooth, strictly J-plurisubharmonic functions point-wise decreasing down to u. On any almost complex manifold (X,J) each point has a fundamental neighborhood system of J-pseudoconvex domains, and so the theorem above establishes local smooth approximation on X. This result was proved in complex dimension 2 by the third author, who also showed that the result would hold in general dimensions if a parallel result for continuous approximation were known. This paper establishes the required step by solving the obstacle problem.
We present some results dealing with the local geometry of almost complex manifolds. We establish mainly the complete hyperbolicity of strictly pseudoconvex domains, the extension of plurisubharmonic functions through generic submanifolds and the ell
iptic regularity of some diffeomorphisms in almost complex manifolds with boundary.
Let $rho_0$ be an action of a Lie group on a manifold with boundary that is transitive on the interior. We study the set of actions that are topologically conjugate to $rho_0$, up to smooth or analytic change of coordinates. We show that in many case
s, including the compactifications of negatively curved symmetric spaces, this set is infinite.
Let $(X,omega)$ be a compact Kahler manifold of dimension $n$ and fix $1leq mleq n$. We prove that the total mass of the complex Hessian measure of $omega$-$m$-subharmonic functions is non-decreasing with respect to the singularity type. We then solv
e complex Hessian equations with prescribed singularity, and prove a Hodge index type inequality for positive currents.
We consider a class of compact homogeneous CR manifolds, that we call $mathfrak n$-reductive, which includes the orbits of minimal dimension of a compact Lie group $K_0$ in an algebraic homogeneous variety of its complexification $K$. For these manif
olds we define canonical equivariant fibrations onto complex flag manifolds. The simplest example is the Hopf fibration $S^3tomathbb{CP}^1$. In general these fibrations are not $CR$ submersions, however they satisfy a weaker condition that we introduce here, namely they are CR-deployments.
