A classical theorem due to Wong [1] states that the ball is the unique strictly pseudoconvex bounded domain having a noncompact automorphism group. Rosay [2] extended this theorem to bounded domains such that an orbit accumulates at a strictly pseudoconvex domain at the boundary. Later, Efimov [3] got rid of the boundedness assumption. Schoen [4] and, independently, Spiro [5] proved the CR-version of this result, where the strict pseudoconvexity of the accumulation point of an orbit also plays a crucial role. In the present note, we suggest two local CR-versions of this result for hypersurfaces. These versions manifest different behavior depending on whether the Levi form is definite or not. |
