Pseudo-Einstein Structures on Links of Isolated Singularities

Abstract

We study Jack Lee's conjecture that, for a compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M, the condition c1(T1,0M)=0 in H2(M,ℝ) implies the existence of a pseudo-Einstein structure. For links of isolated singularities, we construct counterexamples in every odd dimension at least three, with c1(T1,0M)=0 in H2(M,ℤ) and b1(M)=0. For isolated algebraic singularities of log canonical type and complex dimension at least three, we prove that the real Chern class condition is equivalent to ℚ-Cartierness of the canonical divisor, log canonicity, and the existence of a pseudo-Einstein structure. Finally, we construct a Du Bois threefold singularity whose link satisfies the real Chern class condition but admits no pseudo-Einstein structure. The initial versions of the proofs were generated with AI assistance and were subsequently revised and verified by the authors.

AB  - We study Jack Lee's conjecture that, for a compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M, the condition c_1(T^1,0M)=0 in H^2(M,ℝ) implies the existence of a pseudo-Einstein structure. For links of isolated singularities, we construct counterexamples in every odd dimension at least three, with c_1(T^1,0M)=0 in H^2(M,ℤ) and b_1(M)=0.
