About the holomorphic extension of CR functions on real hypersurfaces in complex space (Q1058022): Difference between revisions

Without use of the method of analytic discs, the authors derive significant and general results on local holomorphic extensions of CR functions on a \(C^{\infty}\) hypersurface, \(\Sigma\), in \({\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}\). Suppose \(\Sigma\) is of finite type m (tangent to \({\mathbb{R}}^{2n+1}\) to order m) at 0. The authors prove the following results: (1) If m is odd then every CR function has an ambient holomorphic extension near 0. - (2) If m is even then every CR function has a holomorphic extension to at least one side of \(\Sigma\). These results follow from a deep analysis which first shows a sector property of Cauchy characteristics is sufficient for such extension results. Then the type conditions (even or odd) are shown to yield the appropriate sector properties.
