On the absence of the one-sided Poincaré lemma in Cauchy-Riemann manifolds
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 4 (2005) no. 4, pp. 587-600.

Given an embeddable CR manifold M and a non-characteristic hypersurface SM we present a necessary condition for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator ¯ M on M to be locally solvable near a point x 0 S in one of the sides determined by S.
