Abstract

We continue our study, initiated in an earlier article, of a class of rigid hypersurfaces in C3{\mathbb C}^3 that are 2-nondegenerate and uniformly Levi degenerate of rank 1, having zero CR-curvature. We drop the restrictive assumptions of the earlier paper and give a complete description of the class. Surprisingly, the answer is expressed in terms of solutions of several well-known differential equations, in particular, the equation characterizing conformal metrics with constant negative curvature and a nonlinear ˉ\bar\partial-equation.
