CR singularities of real fourfolds in \(\mathbb C^{3}\) (Q610633)

The author studies embedded real \(4\)-manifolds into complex \(3\)-space. Points where the tangent space of the \(4\)-manifold is a complex \(2\)-plane are called CR-singular. The main result of the paper is the classification of the quadratic part of the CR-singularities up to local holomorphic coordinate changes. A table of normal forms is presented. It is also shown how the quadratic part determines the intersection index, an enumerative invariant occurring in global formulas.
