Abstract

Let M be the quotient of the Heisenberg group by a discrete co-compact subgroup, with the natural strongly pseudoconvex CR structure. We identify the eigenvalues and eigenforms of the Kohn Laplacians on M and show how to realize M as the boundary of a bounded domain in a line bundle over an Abelian variety.
