    Let \(Q^N_\ell\subset\mathbb{CP}^{N+1}\) be the hyperquadric of CR-dimension \(N\) and signature \(\ell\) (\(0\leq\ell\leq N/2\)) defined by \[ -\sum_{j=0}^\ell|z_j|^2+\sum_{k=\ell+1}^{N+1}|z_k|^2=0. \] Let \(M\subset \mathbb C^{n+1}\) be a connected real-analytic Levi-nondegenerate hypersurface of signature \(0\leq\ell\leq n/2\). Assume that in a neighborhood \(U\subset\mathbb C^{n+1}\) of a point \(p\in M\) there is a holomorphic mapping \(f_0: U\to \mathbb{CP}^{N_0+1}\) mapping \(M\) in the hyperquadric \(Q^{N_0}_\ell\) with \(N_0-n<\ell\), and that \(f_0(U)\not\subset Q^{N_0}_\ell\). If \(f: U\to \mathbb{CP}^{N+1}\) is another local holomorphic mapping from \(M\) to a hyperquadric \(Q^{N}_\ell\), satisfying \(f(U)\not\subset Q^{N}_\ell\), then \(f=T\circ\L\circ f_0\), where \(T\) is an automorphism of \(Q^{N}_\ell\) and \(L\) is the standard embedding of \(\mathbb{CP}^{N_0+1}\) into \(\mathbb{CP}^{N+1}\). In the case where \(M\) is locally biholomorphic to \(Q^n_{n/2}\), only a slightly weaker statement holds, as it might be required to replace \(f_0\) with the composition of \(f_0\) and the automorphism of \(\mathbb{CP}^{n+1}\) given by reversing the order of coordinates. In the case where \(\ell\geq 1\), one can weaken the hypotheses assuming that \(M\) is only smooth, and \(f_0,f\) are only CR mappings, because the hypotheses of the theorem already imply that \(M\) is real-analytic and \(f_0,f\) are holomorphic. This paper generalizes previous results of \textit{S. M. Webster} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 28, 405--416 (1979; Zbl 0387.53020)] and \textit{P. Ebenfelt, X. Huang} and \textit{D. Zaitsev} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 12, 631--670 (2004; Zbl 1066.32033)] in the pseudoconvex case (i.e., \(\ell=0\)) and of \textit{P. Ebenfelt, X. Huang} and \textit{D. Zaitsev} [Am. J. Math 127, 169--191 (2005; Zbl 1080.32033)] in the general case.
