Review text

The main results presented in the paper are the following two theorems. (a) Let \(M^2\) be a \(2\)-dimensional Stein manifold and let \(H\) be a smooth embedded Levi-flat hypersurface in \(M^2\) consisting of the union over the parameter set \((0,1)\) of closed Levi-leaves. Then any smooth connected closed surface \(\mathfrak S\subset H\) bounds a uniquely defined Hartogs manifold \(h\) contained in \(H\). If \(h\) is a Hartogs manifold in \(M^2\), then the continuity principle holds for \(h\). (b) There exists a smooth embedded two-sphere \(S\) in \(\mathbb C^2\) which bounds a smooth embedded relatively compact Levi-flat three-ball \(\mathcal B\) with the following properties. (1) \(\mathcal B\) is foliated into schlicht-like Riemann surfaces. Each leaf is contained in an algebraic hypersurface in \(\mathbb C^2\). The algebraic hypersurfaces form a continuous one-parameter family. (2) There exists an analytic function in a domain \(\mathcal D\subset\mathbb C^2\) containing \(S\) which does not extend to an analytic function in a neighborhood of \(\overline{\mathcal B}\). Moreover, the projection of the envelope of holomorphy of a small neighborhood of \(S\) does not cover \(\mathcal B\). (3) \(S\) can be lifted to a two-sphere \(\mathcal S\) contained in a two-sheeted pseudoconvex Riemann domain \(\mathcal R\) over \(\mathbb C^2\) such that \(\mathcal S\) bounds a Levi-flat three-ball in \(\mathcal R\), which is foliated into analytic discs.
