Abstract:

Examples are constructed of compact strictly pseudoconvex real analytic three-dimensional CR manifolds which admit no nonconstant CR functions. Also, the embedding problem for certain CR manifolds is shown to be related to a result of Hadamard on immersed convex hypersurfaces in ${{\mathbf {R}}^n}$.
