[parent] Lewy hypersurface (Example)

The real hypersurface in $(z_1,\ldots,z_n) \in {\mathbb{C}}^n$ given by \begin{equation*} \operatorname{Im} z_n = \sum_{j=1}^{n-1} \lvert z_j \rvert^2 \end{equation*}is called the Lewy hypersurface. Note that this is a real hypersurface of real dimension $2n-1$ This is an example of a non-trivial real hypersurface in complex space. For example it is not biholomorphically equivalent to the hyperplane defined by $\operatorname{Im} z_n = 0$ but it is locally (not globally) biholomorphically equivalent to a unit sphere.
