报告摘要: A central problem of modern geometry and geometric analysis is the geometrization problem on manifolds. It is to determine which smooth manifolds admit certain geometric structures. In particular, one of goals in geometric analysis is to understand and classify the singularity models of the nonlinear geometric equation, and to connect it to existence problem of geometric structures on manifolds.

Along these aspects, we will introduce some new and fundamental works on CR geometric analysis. More precisely, a CR manifold is modeled on a real hypersurface in a complex manifold and the subject has attracted the attentions of great geometers such as Poincare, Cartan, and Chern. The traditional approach is based on complex analysis. In recent years, new approaches based on Riemannian and Kaehlerian geometric analysis have been taken up to attack longstanding problems in CR geometry. Such geometric analysis, which involve deep understanding and delicate analysis of both CR and Kaehler gometries, have tremendous difficulties and are pioneering and of lasting impacts in the field, and opens up brand new avenue to research in CR geometric analysis. In this talk, we will focus on the following open problems : 

(I) The CR Li-Yau-Hamilton Gradient Estimate

(II) The Torsion Flow in a Three-Dimensional CR Manifold

(III) On Torsion Solitons

(Iv) On CR Frankel Conjecture

(V) On Yau Uniformization Conjecture on Sasakian Manifolds
