The toric CR Yamabe problem

arXiv:2607.27441

summary

The paper investigates the equivariant CR Yamabe problem on compact contact manifolds with a fixed-point-free torus action, showing it reduces to an elliptic boundary value problem on a convex polyhedral domain and providing examples of toric manifolds with CR structures of differing Yamabe invariant signs.

Abstract

We study the equivariant CR Yamabe problem for a fixed-point-free torus action on a co-oriented compact contact manifold. Such examples arise naturally in the study of Sasakian manifolds with constant scalar curvature. In the toric case, we show that this problem is equivalent to a kind of boundary value problem for an elliptic PDE on a pair of functions defined on a convex, polyhedral domain. We provide examples of solutions and prove that many contact toric manifolds admit compatible CR structures with distinct signs of CR Yamabe invariants.
