A pointwise a-priori estimate for the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem on weakly pseudoconvex domains

R. Michael Range

Vol. 275 (2015), No. 2, 409–432
Abstract

The main result is a pointwise a-priori estimate for the ̄-Neumann problem that holds on an arbitrary weakly pseudoconvex domain D. It is shown that for (0,q)-forms f in the domain of the adjoint ̄ of ̄, the pointwise growth of the derivatives of each coefficient of f with respect to zj ¯ and in complex tangential directions is carefully controlled by the sum of the suprema of f, ̄f, and ̄f over D. These estimates provide a pointwise analog of the classical basic estimate in the L2 theory that has been the starting point for all major work in this area involving L2 and Sobolev norm estimates for the complex Neumann and related operators.
