Abstract. A short coordinate-free proof is given for some known results on the existence of local complex-analytic foliations of a real submanifold M of C". The proof uses an explicit formulation of the equivalence between two definitions of the E. E. Levi form of M.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
