Lee's global pseudo-Einstein structure conjecture
Lee's global pseudo-Einstein structure conjecture
A strictly pseudoconvex CR -manifold is pseudo-Einstein when its pseudohermitian Ricci curvature tensor is function-proportional to its Levi metric; for , this condition is equivalently expressed by . Let denote the first Chern class of the CR holomorphic tangent bundle.
Lee's conjecture. Any closed strictly pseudoconvex CR -manifold with vanishing first Chern class
admits a global pseudo-Einstein structure.
The vanishing of the first Chern class is the obstruction identified for the existence of pseudo-Einstein contact forms, and a pseudo-Einstein contact form has vanishing CR -curvature. The source does not state whether this conjecture has been resolved.
