Geometric and analytic problems for a real submanifold in ℂⁿ with CR singularities

In this survey article, we present some known results and also propose some open questions related to the analytic and geometric aspects of Bishop submanifolds in a complex space. We mainly focus on those problems that the author and his coauthors have recently worked on. The article also contains an example of a Bishop submanifold in ℂ³ of real codimension two, which cannot be quadratically flattened at a CR singular point but is CR non-minimal at any CR point. This provides a counter-example to a question asked in a private communication by Zaistev (2013).
