A connected real analytic hypersurface M⊂Cn+1 whose Levi form is nondegenerate in at least one point—hence at every point of some Zariski-dense open subset—is locally biholomorphic to the model Heisenberg quadric pseudosphere of signature (k,n-k) in one point if and only if, at every other Levi nondegenerate point, it is also locally biholomorphic to some Heisenberg pseudosphere, possibly having a different signature (l,n-l). Up to signature, pseudosphericity then jumps across the Levi degenerate locus and in particular across the nonminimal locus, if there exists any.

Abstract We construct a complete convergent normal form for a real hypersurface in {\mathbb{C}^{N}} , {N\geq 2} , at a generic Levi-degeneracy. This seems to be the first convergent normal form for a Levi-degenerate hypersurface. As an application of the convergence result, we obtain an explicit description of the moduli space of germs of real-analytic hypersurfaces with a generic Levi-degeneracy. As another application, we obtain, in the spirit of the work of Chern and Moser [6], distinguished curves inside the Levi-degeneracy set that we call degenerate chains.

A σ-discrete set in a topological space is a set which is a countable union of discrete closed subsets. A mapping ƒ : X ⟶ Y from a topological space X into a topological space Y is said to be σ-discrete (countable) if each fibre ƒ-1(y), y ϵ Y is σ-discrete (countable). In 1936, Alexandroff showed that every open map of a bounded multiplicity between Hausdorff spaces is a local homeomorphism on a dense open subset of the domain [2].

A C1-mapping ƒ from the oriented circle S1 into the oriented plane R2 such that f f’ (t) ≠ 0 for all t is called a regular immersion. We call a point p in Im f a double point if f-1(p) is a two element set with the corresponding tangent vectors being linearly independent. A regular immersion which is one-to-one except at a finite number of points whose images are double points is called a normal immersion. The work of Whitney [7], Titus [3] and Verhey [6] shows that the normal immersions form a dense open subset in the space of regular immersions with the usual C1-topology, and can be characterized up to diffeomorphic equivalence by a combinatorial invariant called the intersection sequence.
