Spectrum of the Kohn Laplacian on the Rossi sphere

Tawfik Abbas, Madelyne M. Brown, Allison Ramasami and Yunus E. Zeytuncu

Vol. 12 (2019), No. 1, 125–140
Abstract

We study the spectrum of the Kohn Laplacian bt on the Rossi example (S3 ,t). In particular we show that 0 is in the essential spectrum of bt, which yields another proof of the global nonembeddability of the Rossi example.

Keywords
Kohn Laplacian, spherical harmonics, global embeddability of CR manifolds
