Stability of the hull(s) of an $n$-sphere in $\mathbb{C}^n$

We study the (global) Bishop problem for small perturbations of $\mathbf{S}^n$ --- the unit sphere of $\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ --- in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We show that if $S\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ is a sufficiently-small perturbation of $\mathbf{S}^n$ (in the $\mathcal{C}^3$-norm), then $S$ bounds an $(n+1)$-dimensional ball $M\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ that is foliated by analytic disks attached to $S$. Furthermore, if $S$ is either smooth or real analytic, then so is $M$ (upto its boundary). Finally, if $S$ is real analytic (and satisfies a mild condition), then $M$ is both the envelope of holomorphy and the polynomially convex hull of $S$. This generalizes the previously known case of $n=2$ (CR singularities are isolated) to higher dimensions (CR singularities are nonisolated).
