We prove an analogue of the Lewy extension theorem for a real dimension 2n smooth submanifold M ⊂ C n × R, n ≥ 2. A theorem of Hill and Taiani implies that if M is CR and the Levi-form has a positive eigenvalue restricted to the leaves of C n × R, then every smooth CR function f extends smoothly as a CR function to one side of M . If the Levi-form has eigenvalues of both signs, then f extends to a neighborhood of M . Our main result concerns CR singular manifolds with a nondegenerate quadratic part Q. A smooth CR f extends to one side if the Hermitian part of Q has at least two positive eigenvalues, and f extends to the other side if the form has at least two negative eigenvalues. We provide examples to show that at least two nonzero eigenvalues in the direction of the extension are needed. M = n−1, but dim T (0,1) p M = n is possible. If dim T (0,1) p M = n for all p, then M is a complex submanifold by the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem, and so it is locally equal to C n × {s 0 } for some s 0 , and f extends to both sides of M if and only if f is holomorphic on M. Thus, assume that at least somewhere dim T (0,1) pThe points where dim T (0,1) p M = n − 1 are called CR points of M, and the points where dim T (0,1) p M = n are the so-called CR singularities. Write M CR for the set of CR points of M. We need a definition of a CR function on a possibly CR singular submanifold, and we take the definition in the weakest possible sense: A function f : M → C is CR, if vf = 0 for all CR vector fields on M CR . Alternatively, we obtain the same definition if we allow v to be smooth vector fields on M such that v p ∈ T (0,1) p
