CR singularities and dynamical systems

In this talk, we'll survey some recent results done since the seminal work of Moser and Webster about smooth real analytic surfaces in $C^2$ which are totally real everywhere but at a point where the tangent space is a complex line. Such a point is called a singularity of the Cauchy-Riemann structure. Such singularity may have a strong influence on holomorphic extension of functions. We are interested in the holomorphic classification of these surfaces near the singularity. It happens that there is a deep connection with holomorphic classification of some holomorphic dynamical systems near a fixed point so that new results for the latter provide new results for the former.
