CR analogue of the rigidity theorem for subcritical semilinear equations

Let M2m+1M^{2m+1} be a closed pseudohermitian manifold with vanishing pseudohermitian torsion Aαβ=0A_{\alpha\beta}=0 and Webster Ricci tensor satisfying

Rαβm+12.R_{\alpha\overline{\beta}}\geq\frac{m+1}{2}.

Suppose a positive function ff satisfies

Δbf+λf=fq,-\Delta_b f+\lambda f=f^q,

where λ>0\lambda>0 and 1<q<(m+2)/m1<q<\left(m+2\right)/m. If λ(q1)m/2\lambda(q-1)\leq m/2, then ff is constant unless q=(m+2)/mq=(m+2)/m, λ=m2/4\lambda=m^2/4, and (M,θ)(M,\theta) is isometric to (S2m+1,θc)(\mathbb{S}^{2m+1},\theta_c). In the exceptional case,

f=cmcosht+(sinht)zξ1/mf=c_m\left\lvert\cosh t+(\sinh t)z\cdot\overline{\xi}\right\rvert^{-1/m}

for some t>0t>0 and ξS2m+1\xi\in\mathbb{S}^{2m+1}.
