The CR Yamabe constant and inequivalent CR structures

Chanyoung Sung and Yuya Takeuchi

Vol. 335 (2025), No. 1, 163–181
DOI: 10.2140/pjm.2025.335.163
Abstract

The CR Yamabe constant is an invariant of a compact strongly pseudoconvex CR manifold and plays an important role in CR geometry. We show some integral formulas of the CR Yamabe constant. We also construct an infinite-dimensional family of strongly pseudoconvex CR structures with varying CR Yamabe constants and a compact simply connected manifold admitting two strongly pseudoconvex CR structures with different signs of the CR Yamabe constant.
