Sums of CR and projective dual CR functions

Abstract

A smooth, strongly $\mathbb{C}$-convex, real hypersurface $S$ in ${\mathbb{CP}}^n$ admits a projective dual CR structure in addition to the standard CR structure. Given a smooth function $u$ on $S$, we provide characterizations for when $u$ can be decomposed as a sum of a CR function and a dual CR function. Following work of Lee on pluriharmonic boundary values, we provide a characterization using differential forms. We further provide a characterization using tangential vector fields in the style of Audibert and Bedford.
