This a joint work with Wanke Yin.
Let $M\subset \mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ ($n\ge 2$) be a real
analytic submanifold defined by an equation of the form:
$w=|z|^2+O(|z|^3)$, where we use $(z,w)\in {\CC}^{n}\times \CC$
for the coordinates of ${\CC}^{n+1}$. We first derive a pseudo-normal form
for $M$ near $0$. We then use it to prove that $(M,0)$ is holomorphically
equivalent to the quadric $(M_\infty: w=|z|^2,\ 0)$ if and only if it can
be formally transformed to $(M_\infty,0)$, using the rapid convergence
method. We also use it to give a necessary and sufficient condition
when $(M,0)$ can be formally flattened. Our main theorem generalizes a
classical result of Moser for the case of $n=1$.
