Let $\Omega$ be a smooth real analytic submanifold of a complex manifold $X$. We establish and study the link between the following 3 subjects: 1) topological properties of smooth families of attached analytic discs, the manifold $\Omega$…

Let $M \subset {\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 2$, be a real codimension two CR singular real-analytic submanifold that is nondegenerate and holomorphically flat. We prove that every real-analytic function on $M$ that is CR outside the CR…

Let S be a generic C-infinity smooth CR manifold in C^n, n > 1, and let M be a generic C-infinity CR submanifold of S X C^m. We prescribe conditions on M so that it is the disjoint union of graphs of CR maps f:S-->C^m. We also consider the…

Let $\Omega \subset {\mathbb C}^n \times {\mathbb R}$ be a bounded domain with smooth boundary such that $\partial \Omega$ has only nondegenerate elliptic CR singularities, and let $f \colon \partial \Omega \to {\mathbb C}$ be a smooth…

Real-analytic CR functions on real-analytic CR singular submanifolds are not in general restrictions of holomorphic functions, unlike in the CR nonsingular case. We give a simple condition that completely characterizes those quadric CR…

An analytico-geometric reflection principle is established by means of normal deformations of analytic discs.

We study the existence of topologically closed complex curves normalized by bordered Riemann surfaces in complex spaces. Our main result is that such curves abound in any noncompact complex space admitting an exhaustion function whose Levi…

In this paper, a generalization of the "sector property" theorem first pioneered by Baouendi, Rothschild and Treves is given. The main contribution consists in showing that if a submanifold of $\C^n$ with higher codimension is locally…

We prove that every smooth CR manifold $M\subset\subset \C^n$, of hypersurface type, has a complex strip-manifold extension in $\C^n$. If $M$ is, in addition, pseudoconvex-oriented, it is the "exterior" boundary of the strip. In turn, the…

We establish the holomorphic wedge extendability of CR functions, defined on an everywhere locally minimal generic submanifold M of C^n and having singularities contained in a submanifold N of codimension 1, 2 or 3, assuming some…

We consider a compact $C^\omega$ manifold $X$ and finitely many regular $C^\omega$ submanifolds $Y_1, \dots, Y_q$ of $X$, which are closed subsets in $X$, such that the union of $Y_j$'s has only normal crossings. We show that every…

We prove that a real-valued function (that is not assumed to be continuous) on a real analytic manifold is analytic whenever all its restrictions to analytic submanifolds homeomorphic to the 2-sphere are analytic. This is a real analog for…

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)…

Let $D\subset\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a complex manifold of dimension $p\geq 2$ with $\C^2$ boundary in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Let $f$ be a $\C^1$ function on $bD$ and $V$ a generic and large enough family of complex $(n-p+1)$-planes. Let suppose…

Let $M$ be a connected real-analytic hypersurface in $\C^N$ and $\S$ the unit real sphere in $\C^{N'}$, $N'> N\geq 2$. Assume that $M$ does not contain any complex-analytic hypersurface of $\C^N$ and that there exists at least one strongly…

We classify the germs of $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ CR manifolds that admit a smooth CR contraction. We show that such a CR manifold is embedded into $\CC^n$ as a real hypersurface defined by a polynomial defining function consisting of monomials…

We extend the Chern-Heinz inequalities about mean curvature and scalar curvature of graphs of $C^{2}$-functions to leaves of transversally oriented codimension one $C^{2}$-foliations of Riemannian manifolds. That extends partially…

This is an extensive (published) survey on CR geometry, whose major themes are: formal analytic reflection principle; generic properties of Systems of (CR) vector fields; pairs of foliations and conjugate reflection identities; Sussmann's…

We construct a family of analytic discs attached to a real submanifold M \subset $\mathbb{C}^{N+1}$ of codimension $2$ defined near a CR singularity.

We extend the definition of analytic and Reidemeister torsion from closed compact Riemannian manifolds to compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary $(M, \partial M)$, given a flat bundle $\Cal F$ of $\Cal A$-Hilbert modules of finite type…
