Conjecture on CR maps preserving the Tanaka–Webster Ricci tensor in generalized ellipsoids

Let the model be the generalized ellipsoid described in Section 2, equipped with the contact form ϑ\vartheta defined in equation (polo). A CR map is said to preserve the Tanaka–Webster Ricci tensor when, for its associated conformal factor, the additional Ricci terms in the conformal transformation formula vanish. Ricci-preservation conjecture. Every CR map in this model preserves the Tanaka–Webster Ricci tensor associated with the contact form ϑ\vartheta. The conjecture proposes that all CR symmetries of the generalized ellipsoid preserve this pseudohermitian curvature tensor, a condition intended to constrain and aid the classification of CR mappings. The source provides no evidence of a resolution.
