“…A simple Thom transversality argument (see, e.g., [7]) shows that a generic (i.e., sufficiently general) strictly pseudoconvex domain in C n with n ≥ 4 does not have any umbilical points in its boundary, and Webster [17] showed that, in particular, every non-spherical real ellipsoid in C n with n ≥ 3 has no umbilical points. In contrast with Webster's result, and illustrating the point that the situation in C 2 and that in C n with n ≥ 3 is different, X. Huang and S. Ji [9] proved that every real ellipsoid in C 2 must have umbilical points. We mention here also two other recent papers, [6] and [7], in which the focus (regarding Chern-Moser's question) has been on proving results to the effect that certain classes of three-dimensional CR manifolds must possess umbilical points (supporting a possible 'no' as an answer to Chern-Moser's question).…”
