We apply the method of group foliation to the complex Monge-Ampere equation
(CMA(2)) to establish a regular framework for finding its non-invariant so
lutions. We employ an infinite symmetry subgroup of CMA(2) to produce a fol
iation of the solution space into orbits of solutions with respect to this
group and a,corresponding splitting of CMA(2) into an automorphic system an
d a resolvent system. Mie propose a new approach to group foliation which i
s based on the commutator algebra of operators of invariant differentiation
. This algebra together with its Jacobi identities provides the commutator
representation of the resolvent system.
