Ambient metric construction of Q-curvature in conformal and CR geometries

C Fefferman, K Hirachi - arXiv preprint math/0303184, 2003 - arxiv.org
We give a geometric derivation of Branson's Q-curvature in terms of the ambient metric
associated with conformal structures; it naturally follows from the ambient metric construction …

Conformally Invariant Powers of the Laplacian, Q-Curvature, and Tractor Calculus

AR Gover, LJ Peterson - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2003 - Springer
We describe an elementary algorithm for expressing, as explicit formulae in tractor calculus,
the conformally invariant GJMS operators due to CR Graham et alia. These differential …

Moser-Trudinger and Beckner-Onofri's inequalities on the CR sphere

TP Branson, L Fontana, C Morpurgo - Annals of Mathematics, 2013 - JSTOR
We derive sharp Moser-Trudinger inequalities on the CR sphere. The first type is in the
Adams form, for powers of the sublaplacian and for general spectrally defined operators on …

[HTML][HTML] Branching laws for Verma modules and applications in parabolic geometry. I

T Kobayashi, B Ørsted, P Somberg, V Souček - Advances in Mathematics, 2015 - Elsevier
We initiate a new study of differential operators with symmetries and combine this with the
study of branching laws for Verma modules of reductive Lie algebras. By the criterion for …

A Paneitz-type operator for CR pluriharmonic functions

JS Case, P Yang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1309.2528, 2013 - arxiv.org
We introduce a fourth order CR invariant operator on pluriharmonic functions on a three-
dimensional CR manifold, generalizing to the abstract setting the operator discovered by …

Conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian—a complete nonexistence theorem

A Gover, K Hirachi - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2004 - ams.org
We show that on conformal manifolds of even dimension $ n\geq 4$ there is no conformally
invariant natural differential operator between density bundles with leading part a power of …

[HTML][HTML] Q-prime curvature on CR manifolds

K Hirachi - Differential Geometry and its Applications, 2014 - Elsevier
Q-prime curvature, which was introduced by J. Case and P. Yang, is a local invariant of
pseudo-hermitian structure on CR manifolds that can be defined only when the Q-curvature …
