Abstract

We prove a parametrization theorem for maps of deformations of minimal, holomorphically nondegenerate real-analytic CR manifolds. This is used to deduce results on biholomorphic equivalence; we show that one can, for any germ of a minimal, holomorphically nondegenerate real-analytic CR manifold $(M,p)$ construct a function which completely characterizes the CR manifolds biholomorphically equivalent to $(M,p)$. As an application, we show that for any $p \in M$, the equivalence locus $E_p = \{ q \in M : (M,q)$ biholomorphically equivalent to $(M,p) \}$ is a locally closed real-analytic submanifold of $M$, and give a criterion for the global CR automorphism group to be a (finite-dimensional) Lie group.
