Holomorphically Homogeneous Real Hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$

Abstract: We give a complete description and classification of locally homogeneous real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$. Various groups of mathematicians have been studying this problem in the last 25 years, and several significant classes of hypersurfaces under consideration have been studied and classified. The final results in the classification problem presented in this paper are obtained by using the classification of abstract 5-dimensional real Lie algebras, and by studying their representations by algebras of holomorphic vector fields in complex 3-space. The complete list of pairwise inequivalent hypersurfaces that we obtain contains 47 types of homogeneous hypersurfaces; some of the types are 1- or 2-parametric families, and each of the others is single hypersurface or a finite family of hypersurface.
