Analytic regularity of CR maps into spheres

Abstract

Let $M$ be a connected real-analytic hypersurface in $\C^N$ and $\S$ the unit real sphere in $\C^{N'}$, $N'> N\geq 2$. Assume that $M$ does not contain any complex-analytic hypersurface of $\C^N$ and that there exists at least one strongly pseudoconvex point on $M$. We show that any CR map $f\colon M\to \S$ of class $C^{N'-N+1}$ extends holomorphically to a neighborhood of $M$ in $\C^N$.
