Abstract

We show that a compact orientable 4-manifold M has a CR regular immersion into ℂ3 if and only if both its first Pontryagin class p1(M) and its Euler characteristic χ(M) vanish, and has a CR regular embedding into ℂ3 if and only if in addition the second Stiefel–Whitney class w2(M) vanishes.
