Abstract
We consider an abstract CR manifold equipped with a strictly positive definite Levi form, which defines a pseudo-Hermitian metric on the manifold. On such a manifold it is possible to define a natural sums of squares sub-Laplacian operator. We use Bochner identities to obtain Cordes–Friedrichs type inequalities on such manifolds where the L 2 norm of the Hessian tensor of a function is controlled by the L 2 norm of the sub-Laplacian of the function with a sharp constant for the inequality. By perturbation we proceed to develop a Cordes–Nirenberg type theory for non-divergence form equations on CR manifolds. Some applications are given to the regularity of p-Laplacians on CR manifolds.
