Abstract

We study the rigidity of holomorphic mappings from a neighborhood of a Levi-nondegenerate CR hypersurface MM with signature ll into a hyperquadric QlNCPN+1Q_{l'}^{N} \subseteq \mathbb{CP}^{N+1} of larger dimension and signature. We show that if the CR complexity of MM is not too large then the image of MM under any such mapping is contained in a complex plane with dimension independent of NN. This result follows from two theorems, the first demonstrating that for sufficiently degenerate mappings, the image of MM is contained in a plane, and the second relating the degeneracy of mappings into different quadrics.
