On the automorphism group of the Kohn-Nirenberg domain. (English) Zbl 1005.32016

The Kohn-Nirenberg domain \(\operatorname{Re} w +|zw|^2 +|z|^8 + (15/7) \operatorname{Re} |z|^2 z^6 <0\) was introduced by J. J. Kohn and L. Nirenberg [Math. Ann. 201, 265–268 (1973; Zbl 0248.32013)]. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that there are no automorphism orbits of this domain that accumulate at the origin.
