Abstract

top
A normal form for small CR-deformations of the standard CR-structure on the (2n+1)-sphere is presented. The space of normal forms is parameterized by a single function on the sphere. For n>1, the normal form is used to obtain explicit embeddings into ℂ n + 1 . For n=1, the cohomological obstruction to embeddability is identified.
