Abstract

We first construct a counterexample of a generic quadratic submanifold of codimension $5$ in $\mathbb{C}^9$ which admits a real analytic infinitesimal CR automorphism with homogeneous polynomial coefficients of degree $4$. This example also resolves a question in the Tanaka prolongation theory that was open for more than 50 years. Then we give sufficient conditions to generate more counterexamples to the $2$−jet determination Chern–Moser Theorem in higher codimension. In particular, we construct examples of generic quadratic submanifolds with jet determination of arbitrarily high order.
