Abstract: A CR manifold $M$, with CR distribution $mathcal{D}^{10}subset{T}^{m}athbbCM$, is called {it totally nondegenerate of depth $mu$} if: (a) the complex tangent space $T^{m}athbbCM$ is generated by all complex vector fields that might be determined by iterated Lie brackets between at most $mu$ fields in $mathcal{D}^{10}+overlinemathcal{D}^{10}$; (b) for each integer $2leqkleqmu-1$, the families of all vector fields that might be determined by iterated Lie brackets between at most $k$ fields in $mathcal{D}^{10}+overlinemathcal{D}^{10}$ generate regular complex distributions; (c) the ranks of the distributions in (b) have the {it maximal values} that can be obtained amongst all CR manifolds of the same CR dimension and satisfying (a) and (b) -- this maximality property is the {it total nondegeneracy} condition. In this paper, we prove that, for any Tanaka symbol $frakm=frak{m}^{-mu}+ldots+frak{m}^{-1}$ of a totally nondegenerate CR manifold of depth $mugeq4$, the full Tanaka prolongation of $frakm$ has trivial subspaces of degree $kgeq1$, i.e. it has the form $frak{m}^{-mu}+ldots+frak{m}^{-1}+frak{g}^0$. This result has various consequences. For instance it implies that any (local) CR automorphism of a regular totally nondegenerate CR manifold is uniquely determined by its first order jet at a fixed point of the manifold. It also gives a complete proof of a conjecture by Beloshapka on the group of automorphisms of homogeneous totally nondegenerate CR manifolds.
