Quadratically parametrized maps from a real projective space to a complex projective space are constructed as projections of the Veronese embedding. A classification theorem relates equivalence classes of projections to real congruence classes of complex symmetric matrix pencils. The images of some low-dimensional cases include certain quartic curves in the Riemann sphere, models of the real pr...

Let X be a Stein manifold of dimension at least 3. Given a compact codimension 2 real analytic submanifold M of X, that is the boundary of a compact Levi-flat hypersurface H, we study the regularity of H. Suppose that the CR singularities of M are an O(X)-convex set. For example, suppose M has only finitely many CR singularities, which is a generic condition. Then H must in fact be a real analy...

In this paper is studied the differential geometry of the complex indicatrix, which is approached as an embedded CR hypersurface of the punctual holomorphic tangent bundle of a complex Finsler space. Following the study of CR submanifolds of a Kähler manifold and using the submanifold formulae there are investigated some properties of the complex indicatrix, such as the fact that it is an extri...

There are only some exceptional CR dimensions and codimensions such that the geometries enjoy a discrete classification of the pointwise types of the homogeneous models. The cases of CR dimensions n and codimensions n are among the very few possibilities of the so called parabolic geometries. Indeed, the homogeneous model turns out to be PSU(n+1, n)/P with a suitable parabolic subgroup P . We s...

In this article, we solve the equivalence problem for 2–nondegenerate CR geometries that have (at every point) a homogeneous space G/H as maximally symmetric model G simple real Lie group of automorphisms. This completes classification submanifolds in complex are models with automorphism group. particular, construct (local) embeddings these into space.
