The Geometry of CR-Manifolds

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences ((EMS,volume 9))

Abstract

The geometry of CR-manifolds goes back to Poincaré and received a great attention in the works of É. Cartan, Tanaka, Moser, Chern and others (cf. [44]). In this chapter we consider results connected with the equivalence problem for CR-manifolds in its differential geometric aspect and some applications of this.
