Classification of Holomorphic Mappings of Hyperquadrics from $\mathbb C^2$ to $\mathbb C^3$

Abstract

We give a new proof of Faran's and Lebl's results by means of a new CR-geometric approach and classify all holomorphic mappings from the sphere in $\mathbb C^2$ to Levi-nondegenerate hyperquadrics in $\mathbb C^3$. We use the tools developed by Lamel, which allow us to isolate and study the most interesting class of holomorphic mappings. This family of so-called nondegenerate and transversal maps we denote by $\mathcal F$. For $\mathcal F$ we introduce a subclass $\mathcal N$ of maps which are normalized with respect to the group $\mathcal G$ of automorphisms fixing a given point. With the techniques introduced by Baouendi--Ebenfelt--Rothschild and Lamel we classify all maps in $\mathcal N$. This intermediate result is crucial to obtain a complete classification of $\mathcal F$ by considering the transitive part of the automorphism group of the hyperquadrics.
