Associated Families of Immersions of Three Dimensional CR Manifolds in Euclidean Spaces

Abstract

We consider isometric immersions in arbitrary codimension of three-dimensional strongly pseudoconvex pseudo-hermitian CR manifolds into the Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ and generalize in a natural way the notion of associated family. We show that the existence of such deformations turns out to be very restrictive and we give a complete classification.
