totally real submanifold (Definition)
Definition 1   Suppose that $M \subset {\mathbb{C}}^N$ is a CR submanifold. If the CR dimension of $M$ is 0, we say that $M$ is totally real. If in addition $M$ is generic, then $M$ is said to be maximally totally real (or sometimes just maximally real).

Note that if $M$ is maximally totally real, then the real dimension is automatically $N$ this is because $T_x^c(M) = T_x(M) \cap JT_x(M)$ (the complex tangent space) is of dimension 0, and thus $T_x(M)$ must be of real dimension $N$ if $M$ is to be a generic manifold.
