Differential $\{e\}$-structures for equivalences of $2$-nondegenerate Levi rank $1$ hypersurfaces $M^5 \subset \mathbb{C}^3$
Abstract
The class of -nondegenerate constant Levi rank hypersurfaces is governed by Pocchiola's two primary invariants and . Their vanishing characterizes equivalence of such a hypersurface to the tube over the real light cone in . When either or , by normalization of certain two group parameters and , an invariant coframe can be built on , showing that the dimension of the CR automorphism group drops from to . This paper constructs an explicit -structure in case and do not necessarily vanish. Furthermore, Pocchiola's calculations hidden on a computer now appear in details, especially the determination of a secondary invariant , expressed in terms of the first jet of . All other secondary invariants of the -structure are also expressed explicitly in terms of and .
