Smooth counterexamples to strong unique continuation for a Beltrami system in $\mathbb{C}^2$

Abstract

We construct an example of a smooth map $\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^2$ which vanishes to infinite order at the origin, and such that the ratio of the norm of the $\bar z$ derivative to the norm of the $z$ derivative also vanishes to infinite order. This gives a counterexample to strong unique continuation for a vector valued analogue of the Beltrami equation.Comment: 21 page
