Abstract:
Let be a Stein manifold of dimension at least 3. Given a compact codimension 2 real analytic submanifold of , that is the boundary of a compact Levi-flat hypersurface , we study the regularity of . Suppose that the CR singularities of are an -convex set. For example, suppose has only finitely many CR singularities, which is a generic condition. Then must in fact be a real analytic submanifold. If is real algebraic, it follows that is real algebraic and in fact extends past , even near CR singularities. To prove these results we provide two variations on a theorem of Malgrange, that a smooth submanifold contained in a real analytic subvariety of the same dimension is itself real analytic. We prove a similar theorem for submanifolds with boundary, and another one for subanalytic sets.
