Deformations of CR structures, moduli and normal forms for manifolds with special Monge-Ampère exhaustions

 

 

Abstract

We study the problem of determining the moduli space for a class of complex manifolds which include naturally all the smoothly bounded, strictly linearly convex domains and all smoothly bounded, strongly pseudoconvex circular domains in Cn. In particular, for each biholomorphic equivalence class of them it is proved that there exists an essentially unique manifold in normal form and the class of normalizing maps is parametrized. The results complete and systematize earlier work of Lempert and Bland-Duchamp.
