Normal forms for CR singular codimension-two Levi-flat submanifolds

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Real-analytic Levi-flat codimension two CR singular submanifolds are a natural generalization to mathbbCm, m>2, of Bishop surfaces in mathbbC2. Such submanifolds for example arise as zero sets of mixed-holomorphic equations with one variable antiholomorphic. We classify the codimension two Levi-flat CR singular quadrics, and we notice that new types of submanifolds arise in dimension 3 or greater. In fact, the nondegenerate submanifolds, i.e. higher order purturbations of , have no analogue in dimension 2. We prove that the Levi-foliation extends through the singularity in the real-analytic nondegenerate case. Furthermore, we prove that the quadric is a (convergent) normal form for a natural large class of such submanifolds, and we compute its automorphism group. In general, we find a formal normal form in mathbbC3 in the nondegenerate case that shows infinitely many formal invariants.
