CR Frankel conjecture for spherical CR manifolds

Let (M,J,θ)(M,J,\theta) be a closed, spherical, strictly pseudoconvex CR (2n+1)(2n+1)-manifold with vanishing first Chern class

c1(T1,0M)=0,c_1(T_{1,0}M)=0,

where n2n\geq 2. A contact form has CR-pluriharmonic QQ-curvature when its CR QQ-curvature has that property, and let RR denote the Tanaka–Webster scalar curvature. CR Frankel conjecture. If θ\theta has positive constant Tanaka–Webster scalar curvature RR and its CR QQ-curvature is CR-pluriharmonic, then the universal covering of MM is CR equivalent to the standard CR sphere (S2n+1,J^,θ^)(\mathbf{S}^{2n+1},\widehat{J},\widehat{\theta}). The paper presents this as a CR analogue of Frankel's conjecture and subsequently states that its asserted conclusion is obtained under the stated hypotheses; the supplied parser gives no explicit resolution status, so the database status remains open.
