Abstract: We study the Chern-Moser operator for hypersurfaces of finite type in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$. Analysing its kernel, we derive explicit results on jet determination for the stability group, and give a description of infinitesimal CR automorphisms of such manifolds.

AMSclassification: primary 32V35; secondary 32V40.

Keywords: Chern-Moser operator, automorphism group, finite jet determination, finite type.
