Abstract
Résumé

Using a topological arguments due to Aubin–Bahri (1997), we give some existence results for the Webster scalar curvature problem on the $2 n + 1$ dimensional CR compact manifolds locally conformally CR equivalent to the unit sphere $S^{2 n + 1}$ of $C^{n + 1}$ .

Par des arguments topologiques introduits par Aubin–Bahri (1997), nous donnons quelques résultats d'existence pour le problème de la courbure scalaire de Webster sur les variétés CR de dimension $2 n + 1$ localement conformément CR equivalent à la sphère unité $S^{2 n + 1}$ de $C^{n + 1}$ .
