Abstract
This work describes the local geometry of a real hypersurface of ℂn, and how it relates to subelliptic estimates for the \( \bar \partial \)-Neumann problem. The geometric results appear in (3,5); the results on subellipticity appear in the works of Kohn (7,8) and Catlin (1,2). In this paper we formulate a conjecture about the interplay between these subjects.
