We consider Levi non-degenerate tube hypersurfaces in complex
linear space which are "spherical," that is, locally CR-equivalent
to the real hyperquadric. Spherical hypersurfaces are characterized
by the condition of the vanishing of the CR-curvature form, so such
hypersurfaces are flat from the CR-geometric viewpoint. On the
other hand, such hypersurfaces are of interest from the point of
view of affine geometry. Thus our treatment of spherical tube
hypersurfaces in this book is two-fold: CR-geometric and
affine-geometric. Spherical tube hypersurfaces turn out to possess
remarkable properties. For example, every such hypersurface is
real-analytic and extends to a closed real-analytic spherical tube
hypersurface in complex space. One of our main goals is to give an
explicit affine classification of closed spherical tube
hypersurfaces whenever possible. In this book we offer a
comprehensive exposition of the theory of spherical tube
hypersurfaces starting with the idea proposed in the pioneering
work by P. Yang (1982) and ending with the new approach due to G.
Fels and W. Kaup (2009).
