The unit ball $B^4$ is homogeneous and imbedded in $\mathbb C^3$

35 Views Asked by At

Let $B$ be the unit closed ball in $\mathbb R^4$.

  1. Is $B$ a solvmanifold. i.e., does there exist a solvable Lie group $G$ such that $G$ acts transitively on $B$?

  2. Can $B$ be embedded as a CR-submanifold of codimension $2$ in $\mathbb C^3$?

$B$ is a manifold with boundary: its interior is homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^4$ but neighbourhoods of boundary points are only homeomorphic to a half-space. So no group of continuous transformations can act transitively on it.
