    Let \(Q=\{\roman{Im}\,w=\langle z,z\rangle\}\subset\mathbb{C}_w\times\mathbb{C}^n_z\) denote the affine real quadric associated to a Hermitian quadratic form \(\langle z,z\rangle\), and \(\bar{Q}\) its closure in \(\mathbb{CP}^n\). When \(\langle z,z\rangle\) is nondegenerate, \(\bar{Q}\) is a nondegenerate real quadric in \(\mathbb{CP}^n\), and all \(CR\)-automorphisms of \(Q\) extend to \(CR\) automorphisms of \(\bar{Q}\), which in turn are restrictions of global automorphisms of \(\mathbb{CP}^n\). When \(\langle z,z\rangle\) is degenerate, \(CR\) automorphisms of \(Q\) no longer extend to \(\bar{Q}\) in any reasonable way, but the authors prove that still there is extension for the homeomorphisms of \(\bar{Q}\) with itself which restrict to \(CR\) automorphisms of \(Q\) and of the set \(\tilde{Q}\) of regular points of \(\bar{Q}\). When \(\langle z,z\rangle\) has the same number of positive and negative eigenvalues, the further assumption is needed for the map \(f:\bar{Q}@>>>\bar{Q}\) that \(f\) and \(f^{-1}\) can be holomorphically continued on a neighborhood of the intersection of \(\bar{Q}\) with the hyperplane at infinity.
