In a recent paper, the author and I. Zelenko introduce the concept of modified CR symbols for organizing local invariants of $2$-nondegenerate CR structures. In this paper, we consider homogeneous hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^4$, a natural…

We prove that for every $n\geq 3$ the sharp upper bound for the dimension of the symmetry groups of homogeneous, 2-nondegenerate, $(2n+1)$-dimensional CR manifolds of hypersurface type with a $1$-dimensional Levi kernel is equal to $n^2+7$,…

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…

We show that every point in a uniformly $2$-nondegenerate CR hypersurface is canonically associated with a model $2$-nondegenerate structure. The $2$-nondegenerate models are basic CR invariants playing the same fundamental role as quadrics…

We prove that if the 0-th Tanaka prolongation $\mathfrak{g}_0=\mathfrak{der}_0(\mathfrak{m})$ of a fundamental graded nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak{m}=\mathfrak{g}_{-s}\oplus\dots\oplus\mathfrak{g}_{-1}$ is irreducible on…

We generalize the classical Tanaka result on the finiteness of symmetry algebra for non-degenerate pseudo-product structures to the case when the completely-integrable distributions defining the pseudo-product structure are no longer…

We investigate CR-manifolds which are tubes M:= F x iV over general bases F in a real vector space V and characterize the k-nondegeneracy of M in terms of the real affine geometry of F. We give a method for an explicit computation of the…

Many interesting geometric structures can be described as regular infinitesimal flag structures, which occur as the underlying structures of parabolic geometries. Among these structures we have for instance conformal structures, contact…

Motivated by the geometric theory of differential equations and the variational approach to the equivalence problem for geometric structures on manifolds, we consider the problem of equivalence for distributions with fixed submanifolds of…

Real-analytic Levi-flat codimension two CR singular submanifolds are a natural generalization to ${\mathbb{C}}^m$, $m > 2$, of Bishop surfaces in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Such submanifolds for example arise as zero sets of mixed-holomorphic…

We give a solution to the equivalence and the embedding problems for smooth CR-submanifolds of complex spaces (and, more generally, for abstract CR-manifolds) in terms of complete differential systems in jet bundles satisfied by all…

Let $V$ be a complex vector space with a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form and $\mathbb S$ an irreducible module over the Clifford algebra $Cl(V)$ determined by this form. A supertranslation algebra is a $\mathbb Z$-graded Lie…

Searching normal forms for real analytic submanifolds of C^n involves convergence problems. In 1983, J.K. Moser and S.M. Webster provided examples of real analytic surfaces in C^2 having an isolated hyperbolic (in the sense of E. Bishop)…

We investigate 3-nondegenerate CR structures in the lowest possible dimension 7 and show that 8 is the maximal dimension for the Lie algebra of symmetries of such structures. The next possible symmetry dimension is 6, and for the…

Let M be a connected generic real-analytic CR-submanifold of a finite-dimensional complex vector space E. Suppose that for every point a in M the Lie algebra hol(M,a) of germs of all infinitesimal real-analytic CR-automorphisms of M at a is…

We classify all maximal symmetry models of CR dimension 1, depending on their Bloom-Graham and Tanaka types, give coordinate realization to some of those models and prove a general extension principle.

We study the local equivalence problem for five dimensional real hypersurfaces $M^5$ of $\mathbb{C}^3$ which are $2$-nondegenerate and of constant Levi rank $1$ under biholomorphisms. We find two invariants, $J$ and $W$, which are expressed…

Working in the framework of nilpotent geometry, we give a unified scheme for the equivalence problem of geometric structures which extends and integrates the earlier works by Cartan, Singer-Sternberg, Tanaka, and Morimoto. By giving a new…

For almost contact metric or almost paracontact metric manifolds there is natural notion of $\eta$-normality. Manifold is called $\eta$-normal if is normal along kernel distribution of characteristic form. In the paper it is proved that…

In this paper we translate the necessary and sufficient conditions of Tanaka's theorem on the finiteness of effective prolongations of a fundamental graded Lie algebras into computationally effective criteria, involving the rank of some…
