ABSTRACT. We show that for every smooth projective hypersurface X ⊂ P n+1 of degree d and of arbitrary dimension n 2, if X is generic, then there exists a proper algebraic subvariety Y
We study effectively the Cartan geometry of Levi-nondegenerate C
6-smooth hypersurfaces M
3 in ℂ2. Notably, we present the so-called curvature function of a related Tanaka-type normal connection explicitly in terms of a graphing function for M, which is the initial, single available datum. Vanishing of this curvature function then characterizes explicitly the local biholomorphic equivalence of such M
3 ⊂ ℂ2 to the Heisenberg sphere ℍ3, such M’s being necessarily real analytic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
