DescriptionIn this dissertation, proper holomorphic maps between some types of CR manifolds have been studied. For non-degenerate holomorphic Segre maps between Hn and HN , the complexifications of Heisenberg hypersurfaces, we show that they possess a partial
rigidity property when N ≤ 2n − 2. As an application under the same assumption, we prove that the holomorphic Segre non-transversality for these maps propagates along Segre varieties. this propagation property fails when N > 2n − 2. For any proper rational holomorphic map between complex balls, we derive a simple and explicit criterion when it is equivalent to a holomorphic polynomial map. This criterion is used to show that proper rational holomorphic maps from B2 into BN of degree two are equivalent to polynomial maps. For general smooth CR embeddings from a Levi non-degenerate hypersurface into another one with the same signature, a monotonicity property of the
Chern-Moser-Weyl curvature along directions in the null space of the Levi-form has been obtained.
