We prove the first general finite jet determination result in positive codimension for CR maps from real-analytic minimal submanifolds M ⊂ C N $M\subset \mathbb {C}^N$ into Nash (real) submanifolds M ′ ⊂ C N ′ $M^{\prime }\subset \mathbb {C}^{N^{\prime }}$ . For a sheaf S $\mathcal {S}$ of C ∞ $\mathcal {C}^\infty$ -smooth CR maps from M $M$ into M ′ $M^{\prime }$ , we show that the non-existence of so-called 2-approximate CR S $\mathcal {S}$ -deformations from M $M$ into M ′ $M^{\prime }$ implies the following strong finite jet determination property: There exists a map ℓ : M → Z + $\ell \colon M\rightarrow {\mathbb {Z}}_+$ , bounded on compact subsets of M $M$ , such that for every point p ∈ M $p\in M$ , whenever f , g $f,g$ are two elements of S p $\mathcal {S}_p$ with j p ℓ ( p ) f = j p ℓ ( p ) g $j^{\ell (p)}_pf=j^{\ell (p)}_pg$ , then f = g $f=g$ . Applying the deformation point of view allows a unified treatment of a number of classes of target manifolds, which includes, among others, strictly pseudoconvex, Levi–non-degenerate, but also some particularly important Levi-degenerate targets, such as boundaries of classical domains.
