CR structures with group action and extendability of CR functions (Q1079708)

The paper consists of three parts. Part I presents results on local embedding of CR structures. The authors consider an abstract CR manifold whose structure is invariant under a transversal Lie group. They show that such a manifold can always be locally embedded in complex space as a generic submanifold. Their proof is based on selection of canonical coordinates and repeated use of the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem. Parts II and III are devoted to the study of local properties of CR functions or distributions on a rigid CR manifold.
