On CR singular CR images

Abstract

We say that a CR singular submanifold $M$ has a removable CR singularity if the CR structure at the CR points of $M$ extends through the singularity as an abstract CR structure on $M$. We study such real-analytic submanifolds, in which case removability is equivalent to $M$ being the image of a generic real-analytic submanifold $N$ under a holomorphic map that is a diffeomorphism of $N$ onto $M$, what we call a CR image. We study the stability of the CR singularity under perturbation, the associated quadratic invariants, and conditions for removability of a CR singularity. A lemma is also proved about perturbing away the zeros of holomorphic functions on CR submanifolds, which could be of independent interest.
