Abstract: It is a classical result by L. Boutet de Movel that any compact strictly pseudoconvex (hypersurface type) CR manifold of dimension strictly greater than 3 is embeddable in $$\mathbb{C}^n$$ for some $$n$$. For strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold of dimension 3, the situation is more subtle. It is known that “most” are not embeddable. A characterization of embeddability in terms of a closed range property of $$\bar\partial$$ was given by J. Kohn. In this talk, we shall discuss the embeddability problem for strictly pseudoconvex CR 3-folds in more geometric terms. The approach will be to realize the embeddable deformations of an already embedded CR 3-fold as a geometric flow in complex space.
