We consider hypersurfaces of finite type in a direct product space ${\mathbb R}^2 \times {\mathbb R}^2$, which are analogues to real hypersurfaces of finite type in ${\mathbb C}^2$. We shall consider separately the cases where such…

We introduce new invariant tensors in CR structures which can be viewed as higher order Levi forms. Using the second and third order tensors, we give a complete formal normal form (in the sense of Chern-Moser) for a real hypersurface at a…

We construct normal forms for Levi degenerate hypersurfaces of finite type in $\mathbb C^2$. As one consequence, an explicit solution to the problem of local biholomorphic equivalence is obtained. Another consequence determines the…

We construct complete normal forms for $5$-dimensional real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$ which are $2$-nondegenerate and also of Levi non-uniform rank zero at the origin point ${\bf p} =0$. The latter condition means that the rank of the…

We consider the problem of describing the local biholomorphic equivalence class of a real-analytic hypersurface $M$ at a distinguished point $p_0\in M$ by giving a normal form for such objects. In order for the normal form to carry useful…

In this paper we construct a large class of new normal forms for Levi-nondegenerate real hypersurfaces in complex spaces. We adopt a general approach illustrating why these normal forms are natural and which role is played by the celebrated…

We study normal forms of germs of singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces. We prove the existence of rigid normal forms for singular Levi-flat hypersurfaces which are defined by the vanishing of the real part of complex…

We study CR hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^4$ that are Levi degenerate with constant rank Levi form, and moreover finitely nondegenerate. Each of these can be described as a deformation of a model CR hypersurface by adding terms of higher…

In this paper, we consider real hypersurfaces $M$ in $\Bbb C^3$ (or more generally, 5-dimensional CR manifolds of hypersurface type) at uniformly Levi degenerate points, i.e. Levi degenerate points such that the rank of the Levi form is…

$2$-nondegenerate real hypersurfaces in complex manifolds play an important role in CR-geometry and the theory of Hermitian Symmetric Domains. In this paper, we construct a complete convergent normal form for everywhere $2$-nondegenerate…

We study the holomorphic equivalence problem for finite type hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^2$. We discover a geometric condition, which is sufficient for the existence of a natural convergent normal form for a finite type hypersurface. We…

We explicitly describe germs of strongly pseudoconvex non-spherical real-analytic hypersurfaces $M$ at the origin in $\CC^{n+1}$ for which the group of local CR-automorphisms preserving the origin has dimension $d_0(M)$ equal to either…

Let M be a connected real-analytic hypersurface in N-dimensional complex euclidean space whose Levi form is nondegenerate at some point. We prove that for every point p in M, there exists an integer k=k(M,p) such that germs at p of local…

The regular type of a real hyper-surface M in an (almost) complex manifold at some point p is the maximal contact order at p of M with germs of non singular (pseudo) holomorphic disks. The main purpose of this paper is to give two intrinsic…

We continue our study, initiated in an earlier article, of a class of rigid hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^3$ that are 2-nondegenerate and uniformly Levi degenerate of rank 1, having zero CR-curvature. We drop the restrictive assumptions of…

We use the method of equivariant moving frames to revisit the problem of normal forms and equivalence of nondegenerate real hypersurfaces M \subset C^2 under the pseudo-group action of holomorphic transformations. The moving frame…

We construct a complete convergent normal form for a real hypersurface in $\CC{N},\,N\geq 2$ at generic Levi degeneracy. This seems to be the first convergent normal form for a Levi-degenerate hypersurface. In particular, we obtain, in the…

An intriguing phenomenon regarding Levi-degenerate hypersurfaces is the existence of nontrivial infinitesimal symmetries with vanishing 2-jets at a point. In this work we consider polynomial models of Levi-degenerate real hypersurfaces in…

We present a proof of the existence and uniqueness theorem of a normalizing biholomorphic mapping to Chern-Moser normal form. The explicit form of the equation of a chain on a real hyperquadric is obtained. We show a family of normal forms…

The paper gives a complete description of local automorphism groups for Levi degenerate hypersurfaces of finite type in $\mathbb{C}^2$. We also prove that, with the exception of hypersurfaces of the form $v = |z|^k$, local automorphisms are…
