Total reality of conormal bundles of hypersurfaces in almost complex manifolds

A generalization to the almost complex setting of a well-known result by S. Webster is given. Namely, we prove that if $\Gamma$ is a strongly pseudoconvex hypersurface in an almost complex manifold $(M, J)$, then the conormal bundle of $\Gamma$ is a totally real submanifold of (T^*M, \J), where \J is the lifted almost complex structure on $T^*M$ defined by Ishihara and Yano.Comment: 8 page

Pseudohermitian invariants and classification of CR mappings in generalized ellipsoids

We discuss the problem of classifying all local CR diffeomorphisms of a strictly pseudoconvex surface. Our method exploits the Tanaka--Webster pseudohermitian invariants, their transformation formulae, and the Chern--Moser invariants. Our main application concerns a class of generalized ellipsoids where we classify all local CR mappings.Comment: Accepted version, to appear on J. Math. Soc. Japa

A Bishop surface with a vanishing Bishop invariant

We derive a complete set of invariants for a formal Bishop surface near a point of complex tangent with a vanishing Bishop invariant under the action of formal transformations. We prove that the modular space of Bishop surfaces with a vanishing Bishop invariant and with a fixed Moser invariant $s<\infty$ is of infinite dimension. We also prove that the equivalence class of the germ of a generic real analytic Bishop surface near a complex tangent with a vanishing Bishop invariant can not be determined by a finite part of the Taylor expansion of its defining equation. This answers, in the negative, a problem raised by J. Moser in 1985 after his joint work with Webster in 1983 and his own work in 1985
