Soit S une sous-variété réelle, lisse. compacte, de codimension 2 de Cn, n>2. On considère le problème de l'existence d'une hypersurface compacte M, de bord S, telle que MS soit Levi-plate. On démontre le théorème suivant : supposons que (i) S est non minimale en tout point CR, (ii) tout point complexe de S est plat et elliptique et il en existe un au moins, (iii) S ne contient aucune sous-variété complexe de dimension n2. Alors il existe une sous-variété M˜C×Cn, à singularités négligeables, avec bord S˜ (au sens des courants) et telle quel la projection naturelle π:C×CnCn donne un difféomorphisme CR entre S et S˜.

Let S be a smooth 2-codimensional real compact submanifold of Cn, n>2. We address the problem of finding a compact hypersurface M, with boundary S, such that MS is Levi-flat. We prove the following theorem. Assume that (i) S is nonminimal at every CR point, (ii) every complex point of S is flat and elliptic and there exists at least one such point, (iii) S does not contain complex submanifolds of dimension n2. Then there exists a Levi-flat (2n1)-subvariety M˜C×Cn with negligible singularities and boundary S˜ (in the sense of currents) such that the natural projection π:C×CnCn restricts to a CR diffeomorphism between S and S˜.
