Abstract
We consider a family $M_{t}^{3}$, with $t>1$, of real hypersurfaces in a complex affine three-dimensional quadric arising in connection with the classification of homogeneous compact simply connected real-analytic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ due to Morimoto and Nagano. To finalize their classification, one needs to resolve the problem of the Cauchy–Riemann (CR)-embeddability of $M_{t}^{3}$ in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$. In our earlier article, we showed that $M_{t}^{3}$ is CR-embeddable in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ for all $1<t<\sqrt{(2+\sqrt{2})/3}$. In the present paper, we prove that $M_{t}^{3}$ can be immersed in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ for every $t>1$ by means of a polynomial map. In addition, one of the immersions that we construct helps simplify the proof of the above CR-embeddability theorem and extend it to the larger parameter range $1<t<\sqrt{5}/2$.
