It is well-known that in one complex variable the Cauchy integral preserves real analyticity near the boundary. In this paper we show that the same conclusion also holds on convex domains with real analytic boundary in higher dimension, where the Cauchy kernel is given by the Cauchy-Fantappiè form of order zero generated by the (l.0)-form
