Infinitesimal and local rigidity of mappings of CR manifolds

A holomorphic mapping $H$ between two real-analytic CR manifolds $M$ and $M'$ is said to be locally rigid if any other holomorphic map $F\colon M \to M'$ which is close enough to $H$ is obtained by composing $H$ with suitable automorphisms of $M$ and $M'$. With the aim of reducing the local rigidity problem to a linear one, we provide sufficient infinitesimal conditions. Furthermore we study some topological properties of the action of the automorphism group on the space of nondegenerate mappings from $M$ to $M'$.

Convergence of the Chern-Moser-Beloshapka normal forms

In this article, we first describe a normal form of real-analytic, Levi-nondegenerate submanifolds of $C^N$ of codimension d $\ge$ 1 under the action of formal biholomorphisms, that is, of perturbations of Levi-nondegenerate hyperquadrics. We give a sufficient condition on the formal normal form that ensures that the normalizing transformation to this normal form is holomorphic. We show that our techniques can be adapted in the case d = 1 in order to obtain a new and direct proof of Chern-Moser normal form theorem.

Regularity of infinitesimal CR automorphisms

We study the regularity of infinitesimal CR automorphisms of abstract CR structures which possess a certain microlocal extension and show that there are smooth multipliers, completely determined by the CR structure, such that if $X$ is such an infinitesimal CR automorphism, then $λX$ is smooth for all multipliers $λ$. As an application, we study the regularity of infinitesimal automorphisms of certain embedded hypersurfaces of infinite type.

A normal form for 1-infinite type hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^2$. I. Formal Theory

In this paper, we study the real hypersurfaces $M$ in $\mathbb C^2$ at points $p\in M$ of infinite type. The degeneracy of $M$ at $p$ is assumed to be the least possible, namely such that the Levi form vanishes to first order in the CR transversal direction. A new phenomenon, compared to known normal forms in other cases, is the presence of resonances as roots of an universal polynomial in the $7$-jet of the defining function of $M$. The main result is a complete (formal) normal form at points $p$ with no resonances. Remarkably, our normal form at such infinite type points resembles closely the Chern-Moser normal form at Levi-nondegenerate points. For a fixed hypersurface, its normal forms are parametrized by $S^1\times \mathbb R^*$, and as a corollary we find that the automorphisms in the stability group of $M$ at $p$ without resonances are determined by their $1$-jets at $p$. In the last section, as a contrast, we also give examples of hypersurfaces with arbitrarily high resonances that possess families of distinct automorphisms whose jets agree up to the resonant order.

Local and infinitesimal rigidity of hypersurface embeddings

We study local rigidity properties of holomorphic embeddings of real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ into real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$ and show that infinitesimal conditions imply actual local rigidity in a number of (important) cases. We use this to show that generic embeddings into a hyperquadric in $\mathbb C^3$ are locally rigid.

New extension phenomena for solutions of tangential Cauchy\,-\,Riemann Equations

In our recent work [25] we showed that $C^\infty$ CR-diffeomorphisms of real-analytic Levi-nonflat hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^{2}$ are not analytic in general. This result raised again the question on the nature of CR-maps of real-analytic hypersurfaces. In this paper, we give a complete picture of what CR-maps actually are. First, we discover an analytic continuation phenomenon for CR-diffeomorphisms which we call the {\em sectorial analyticity property}. It appears to be the optimal regularity property for CR-diffeomorphisms in general. We emphasize that such type of extension never appeared previously in the literature. Second, we introduce the class of {\em Fuchsian type hypersurfaces} and prove that (infinitesimal generators of) CR-automorphisms of a Fuchsian type hypersurface are still analytic. In particular, this solves a problem formulated in [28]. Finally, we prove a regularity result for {\em formal} CR-automorphisms of Fuchsian type hypersurfaces.

On the analyticity of CR-diffeomorphisms

In any positive CR-dimension and CR-codimension we provide a construction of real-analytic holomorphically nondegenerate CR-submanifolds, which are $C^\infty$ CR-equivalent, but are inequivalent holomorphically. As a corollary, we provide the negative answer to the conjecture of Ebenfelt and Huang \cite{eh} on the analyticity of CR-equivalences between real-analytic Levi nonflat hypersurfaces in dimension 2.

Holomorphic versus algebraic equivalence for deformations of real-algebraic CR manifolds

We consider (small) algebraic deformations of germs of real-algebraic CR submanifolds in complex space and study the biholomorphic equivalence problem for such deformations. We show that two algebraic deformations of minimal holomorphically nondegenerate real-algebraic CR submanifolds are holomorphically equivalent if and only if they are algebraically equivalent.

Finite jet determination of CR mappings

We prove the following finite jet determination result for CR mappings: Given a smooth generic submanifold M of C^N, N >= 2, which is essentially finite and of finite type at each of its points, for every point p on M there exists an integer l(p), depending upper-semicontinuously on p, such that for every smooth generic submanifold M' of C^N of the same dimension as M, if h_1 and h_2: (M,p)->M' are two germs of smooth finite CR mappings with the same l(p) jet at p, then necessarily their k-jets agree for all positive integers k. In the hypersurface case, this result provides several new unique jet determination properties for holomorphic mappings at the boundary in the real-analytic case; in particular, it provides the finite jet determination of arbitrary real-analytic CR mappings between real-analytic hypersurfaces in C^N of D'Angelo finite type. It also yields a new boundary version of H. Cartan's uniqueness theorem: if Omega and Omega' are two bounded domains in C^N with smooth real-analytic boundary, then there exists an integer k, depending only on the boundary of Omega, such that if H_1 and H_2: Omega -> Omega' are two proper holomorphic mappings extending smoothly up to the boundary of Omega near some point boundary point p and agreeing up to order k at p, then necessarily H_1=H_2.

Local automorphisms of the Hilbert ball

We prove an analogue of Alexander's Theorem for holomorphic mappings of the unit ball in a complex Hilbert space: Every holomorphic mapping which takes a piece of the boundary of the unit ball into the boundary of the unit ball and whose differential at some point of this boundary is onto is the restriction of an automorphism of the ball. We also show that it is enough to assume that the mapping is only Gateaux-holomorphic.

Spectral properties of the canonical solution operator to dbar

We study boundedness, compactness, and Schatten-class membership of the canonical solution operator to dbar, restricted to (0,1)-forms with holomorphic coefficients, on L^2(d mu) where mu is a measure with the property that the monomials form an orthogonal family in L^2 (d mu). The characterizations are formulated in terms of moment properties of mu. Our results generalize the results of the first author to several variables, contain some known results for several variables, and also cover new ground.

Lie group structures on automorphism groups of real-analytic CR manifolds

Given any real-analytic CR manifold M, we provide general conditions on M guaranteeing that the group of all its global real-analytic CR automorphisms is a Lie group (in an appropriate topology). Our conditions are in particular satisfied when M is an arbitrary compact real-analytic hypersurface embedded in some Stein manifold.

Finite jet determination of local CR automorphisms through resolution of degeneracies

Let M be a connected real-analytic hypersurface in N-dimensional complex euclidean space whose Levi form is nondegenerate at some point. We prove that for every point p in M, there exists an integer k=k(M,p) such that germs at p of local real-analytic CR automorphisms of M are uniquely determined by their k-jets (at p). To prove this result we develop a new technique that can be seen as a resolution of the degeneracies of M. This procedure consists of blowing up M near an arbitrary point p in M regardless of its minimality or nonminimality; then, thanks to the blow-up, the original problem can be reduced to an analogous one for a very special class of nonminimal hypersurfaces for which one may use known techniques to prove the finite jet determination property of its CR automorphisms.

Parametrization of local CR automorphisms by finite jets and applications

For any real-analytic hypersurface M in complex euclidean space of dimension >= 2 which does not contain any complex-analytic subvariety of positive dimension, we show that for every point p in M the local real-analytic CR automorphisms of M fixing p can be parametrized real-analytically by their l(p)-jets at p. As a direct application, we derive a Lie group structure for the topological group Aut(M,p). Furthermore, we also show that the order l(p) of the jet space in which the group Aut(M,p) embeds can be chosen to depend upper-semicontinuously on p. As a first consequence, it follows that that given any compact real-analytic hypersurface M in complex euclidean space, there exists an integer k depending only on M such that for every point p in M germs at p of CR diffeomorphisms mapping M into another real-analytic hypersurface in a complex space of the same dimension are uniquely determined by their k-jet at that point. Another consequence is a boundary version of H. Cartan's uniqueness theorem. Our parametrization theorem also holds for the stability group of any essentially finite minimal real-analytic CR manifold of arbitrary codimension. One of the new main tools developed in the paper, which may be of independent interest, is a parametrization theorem for invertible solutions of a certain kind of singular analytic equations, which roughly speaking consists of inverting certain families of parametrized maps with singularities.

Finite jet determination of CR embeddings

We prove finite jet determination results for smooth CR embeddings which are of constant degeneracy, using the method of complete systems. As an application, we derive a reflection principle for mappings between a Levi-nondegenerate hypersurface in C^N and a Levi-nondegenerate hypersurface in C^{N+1}. We also give an independent proof of the reflection principle for mappings between strictly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces in any codimension due to Forstneric.

A smooth regularity theorem for nondegenerate CR-mappings

We prove the following regularity result: If M and M' are smooth generic submanifolds of C^N and C^N' respectively, where N and N' are not necessarily equal, and if M is minimal, then every C^k-CR-map from M into M^\prime which is k-nondegenerate is smooth. As an application, every CR diffeomorphism of k-nondegenerate minimal submanifolds in C^N of class C^k is smooth.
