Abstract

In this companion paper to our article {\em Accidental CR structures} (arxiv.org, January 2023), thought of as an appendix not submitted for publication, we provide complete explicit lists of infinitesimal CR automorphisms for the concerned CR models having respective Lie algebra structures: EII, EIII, so(1,+1), su(p,q).{\bf E}_{II}, \qquad\ {\bf E}_{III}, \qquad\ \mathfrak{so}(\ell-1,\ell+1), \qquad\ \mathfrak{su}(p,q). We start from our lists of {\em quadric} CR submanifolds M2n+cCn+cM^{2n+c} \subset \mathbb{C}^{n+c} of codimension c>1c >1 which are shown to be {\em accidental}, in the sense that their CR symmetry groups are {\em equal to} (and not smaller than) the symmetry groups of the underlying real distribution structures -- after forgetting the complex structure. Thanks to intensive symbolic computer explorations, we then determine embedded vector field generators of these CR symmetries Lie algebras, and we express them in {\em extrinsic} holomorphic coordinates, because intrinsic formulas would be too extended to be shown.
