The study of CR manifolds lie at the intersection of three main mathematical disciplines, partial differential equations, complex analysis in several complex variables, and differential geometry. While the complex analysis and PDEs aspect have been intensly studied in the last fifty years, much effort has been recently made to understand the differential geometric side of the subject.This monograph provides a unified presentation of several differential geometric aspects in the theory of CR manifolds and tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations. It presents topics from the Tanaka-Webster connection, a key contributor to the birth of pseudohermitian geometry, to the major differential geometric acheivements in the theory of CR manifolds, such as Fefferman's metric, pseudo-Einstein structures and the Lee conjecture, CR immersions, subelliptic harmonic maps as a local manifestation of pseudoharmonic maps from a CR manifold, Yang-Mills fields on CR manifolds, to name several. It also aims at explaining how certain results from analysis are employed in CR geometry.Motivated by clear exposition, many examples, explicitly worked out geometric results and stimulating unproved statements and comments referring to the most recent aspects of the theory, this monograph is suitable for researchers and graduate students in differential geometry, complex analysis, and PDEs.

This book gathers contributions by respected experts on the theory of isometric immersions between Riemannian manifolds, and focuses on the geometry of CR structures on submanifolds in Hermitian manifolds. CR structures are a bundle theoretic recast of the tangential Cauchy–Riemann equations in complex analysis involving several complex variables. The book covers a wide range of topics such as Sasakian geometry, Kaehler and locally conformal Kaehler geometry, the tangential CR equations, Lorentzian geometry, holomorphic statistical manifolds, and paraquaternionic CR submanifolds.Intended as a tribute to Professor Aurel Bejancu, who discovered the notion of a CR submanifold of a Hermitian manifold in 1978, the book provides an up-to-date overview of several topics in the geometry of CR submanifolds. Presenting detailed information on the most recent advances in the area, it represents a useful resource for mathematicians and physicists alike.

This book, Complex Geometry and Mathematical Physics: Classical and Quantum Singularities of Space-Times (Book III-B), presents results from the theory of singularities of space–times, embracing both classical (curvature singularities, bundle boundary constructions) and quantum aspects (G.T. Horowitz and D. Marolf’s theory of quantum probes of spacetime singularities, resolution of negative mass naked singularities, resolution of singularities from the loop perspective). The second in a captivating series of three books, it addresses the mathematical analysis and the geometry of black holes, for example R. Penrose’s treatment of gravitational collapse, stability of black holes exteriors, wave functions of black holes and B-Y. Chen’s approach to marginally trapped surfaces relying on the geometry of the second fundamental form of an immersion into a Lorentzian manifold. The other two books of the series are:Complex Geometry and Mathematical Physics: Lorentzian Geometry and Field Equations (Book III-A)Complex Geometry and Mathematical Physics: Complex Analysis versus General Relativity Theory (Book III-C)"Complex Geometry and Mathematical Physics" is part of the ampler book project "Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics", by the same authors, and aims to demonstrate the interaction between complex analysis and complex geometry on one hand, and general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory on the other, with an emphasis on the modern and contemporary trends of applying ideas from GRG theory to certainproblems arising in complex analysis, such as the many pathologies of the Diederich–Fornæss worm domains.

This book, Complex Geometry and Mathematical Physics: Complex Analysis versus General Relativity Theory (Book III-C), examines the impact of results from complex analysis and complex geometry on certain aspects of mathematical physics, such as quantization theory, with an emphasis on the novel aspects in A. Odzijewicz’s scientific creation, as related to the use of complex analysis tools (for example, weighted Bergman kernels) in the calculation of transition probability amplitudes from a classical state (identified to a coherent state) of a mechanical system. The third in a captivating series of three books, it is devoted to applying ideas and methods from GRG (that is, from the theory of singularities—classical and quantum—of spacetimes) to complex analysis.

This book, Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B), is the second in a captivating series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced in differential geometry (DG). Starting with the basics of semi-Riemannian geometry, the book aims to develop the understanding of smooth 1-parameter variations of geodesics of, and correspondingly of, Jacobi fields. A few algebraic aspects required by the treatment of the Riemann–Christoffel four-tensor and sectional curvature are successively presented. Ricci curvature and Einstein manifolds are briefly discussed. The Sasaki metric on the total space of the tangent bundle over a Riemannian manifold is built, and its main properties are investigated. An important integration technique on a Riemannian manifold, related to the geometry of geodesics, is presented for further applications. The other three books of the series areDifferential Geometry 1: Manifolds, Bundle and Characteristic Classes (Book I-A)Differential Geometry 3: Foundations of Cauchy-Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-C)Differential Geometry 4: Advanced Topics in Cauchy–Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D)The four books belong to a larger book project (Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Physics) by the same authors, aiming to demonstrate how certain portions of DG and the theory of partial differential equations apply to general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory. These books supply some of the ad hoc DG machinery yet do not constitute a comprehensive treatise on DG, but rather authors’ choice based on their scientific (mathematical and physical) interests. These are centered around the theory of immersions—isometric, holomorphic, Cauchy–Riemann (CR)—and pseudohermitian geometry, as devised by Sidney Martin Webster for the study of nondegenerate CR structures, themselves a DG manifestation of the tangential CR equations.

This book, Differential Geometry: Foundations of Cauchy–Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-C), is the third in a series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced, in Cauchy–Riemann (CR) and pseudohermitian geometry, such as Lewy operators, CR structures and the tangential CR equations, the Levi form, Tanaka–Webster connections, sub-Laplacians, pseudohermitian sectional curvature, and Kohn–Rossi cohomology of the tangential CR complex. Recent results on submanifolds of Hermitian and Sasakian manifolds are presented, from the viewpoint of the geometry of the second fundamental form of an isometric immersion. The book has two souls, those of Complex Analysis versus Riemannian geometry, and attempts to fill in the gap among the two. The other three books of the series are:Differential Geometry: Manifolds, Bundles, Characteristic Classes (Book I-A)Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B)Differential Geometry: Advanced Topics in Cauchy–Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D)The four books belong to an ampler book project “Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Physics”, by the same authors, and aim to demonstrate how certain portions of differential geometry (DG) and the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) apply to general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory. These books supply some of the ad hoc DG and PDEs machinery yet do not constitute a comprehensive treatise on DG or PDEs, but rather authors’ choice based on their scientific (mathematical and physical) interests. These are centered around the theory of immersions—isometric, holomorphic, and CR—and pseudohermitian geometry, as devised by Sidney Martin Webster for the study of nondegenerate CR structures, themselves a DG manifestation of the tangential CR equations.

This book, Differential Geometry: Advanced Topics in CR and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D), is the fourth in a series of four books presenting a choice of advanced topics in Cauchy–Riemann (CR) and pseudohermitian geometry, such as Fefferman metrics, global behavior of tangential CR equations, Rossi spheres, the CR Yamabe problem on a CR manifold-with-boundary, Jacobi fields of the Tanaka–Webster connection, the theory of CR immersions versus Lorentzian geometry. The book also discusses boundary values of proper holomorphic maps of balls, Beltrami equations on Rossi spheres within the Koranyi–Reimann theory of quasiconformal mappings of CR manifolds, and pseudohermitian analogs to the Gauss–Ricci–Codazzi equations in the study of CR immersions between strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds.
