Abstract

Let $X$ be an orientable compact Levi-flat CR manifold and let $L$ be a positive CR complex line bundle over $X$. We prove that certain microlocal conjugations of the associated Szegő kernel admits an asymptotic expansion with respect to high powers of $L$. As an application, we give a Szegő kernel proof of the Kodaira type embedding theorem on Levi-flat CR manifolds due to Ohsawa and Sibony.
