Analytic stability of the CR cross-cap (Q997107)

The author shows that any real analytic submanifold of dimension \(m\) of a complex space of dimension \(n\) \((m< n)\) is locally equivalent via a holomorphic coordinate change to a fixed real algebraic variety defined by linear and quadratic polynomials. The situation is analogous to Whitney's stability theorem for cross-cap singularities of smooth maps. The complex analyticity of the normalizing transformation is proved using a rapid convergence argument.
