Abstract

We shall prove that there are totally real and real analytic embeddings of SkS^k in \ccn\cc^n which are not biholomorphically equivalent if k5k\geq 5 and n=k+2[k14]n=k+2[\frac{k-1}{4}]. We also show that a smooth manifold MM admits a totally real immersion in \ccn\cc^n with a trivial complex normal bundle if and only if the complexified tangent bundle of MM is trivial. The latter is proved by applying Gromov's weak homotopy equivalence principle for totally real immersions to Hirsch's transversal fields theory.
