Abstract
Résumé

For every real numbers $a ⩾ 1$ , $b ⩾ 1$ with $(a, b) \neq (1, 1)$ , the curve parametrized by $θ \in R$ valued in $C^{2} ≅ R^{4}$

γ : θ ⟼ (x (θ) + \sqrt{- 1} y (θ), u (θ) + \sqrt{- 1} v (θ))

with components:

\begin{matrix} x (θ) : = \sqrt{\frac{a - 1}{a (a b - 1)}} \cos θ, y (θ) : = \sqrt{\frac{b (a - 1)}{a b - 1}} \sin θ, \\ u (θ) : = \sqrt{\frac{b - 1}{b (a b - 1)}} \sin θ, v (θ) : = - \sqrt{\frac{a (b - 1)}{a b - 1}} \cos θ, \end{matrix}

has image contained in the CR-umbilical locus:

γ (R) \subset UmbCR (E_{a, b}) \subset E_{a, b}

of the ellipsoid

E_{a, b} \subset C^{2}

of equation

a x^{2} + y^{2} + b u^{2} + v^{2} = 1

, where the CR-umbilical locus of a Levi nondegenerate hypersurface

M^{3} \subset C^{2}

is the set of points at which the Cartan curvature of M vanishes.

ayant pour composantes :

\begin{matrix} x (θ) : = \sqrt{\frac{a - 1}{a (a b - 1)}} \cos θ, y (θ) : = \sqrt{\frac{b (a - 1)}{a b - 1}} \sin θ, \\ u (θ) : = \sqrt{\frac{b - 1}{b (a b - 1)}} \sin θ, v (θ) : = - \sqrt{\frac{a (b - 1)}{a b - 1}} \cos θ, \end{matrix}
