Abstract

We perform detailed computations of Lie algebras of infinitesimal CR-automorphisms associated to three specific model real analytic CR-generic submanifolds in ℂ9 by employing differential algebra computer tools-mostly within the Maple package DifferentialAlgebra — in order to automate the handling of the arising highly complex linear systems of PDE’s. Before treating these new examples which prolong previous works of Beloshapka, of Shananina and of Mamai, we provide general formulas for the explicitation of the concerned PDE systems that are valid in arbitrary codimension k ⩾ 1 and in any CR dimension n ⩾ 1. Also, we show how Ritt’s reduction algorithm can be adapted to the case under interest, where the concerned PDE systems admit so-called complex conjugations.
