Donaldson's \(Q\)-operators for symplectic manifolds (Q2400405)

The \(Q\)-operator \(Q_{K_p}\) is an integral operator whose kernel is the square norm of the Bergman kernel of a positive line. It was defined by \textit{S. K. Donaldson} [Pure Appl. Math. Q. 5, No. 2, 571--618 (2009; Zbl 1178.32018)] in order to find explicit numerical approximations of Kähler-Einstein metrics on projective manifolds and has attracted much attention recently. The aim of this nice paper is to extend the \(\mathcal{C}^m\)-estimates of the operator \(Q_{K_p}\) to the case of symplectic manifolds. The proof of the main result is based on the asymptotic expansion of the generalized Bergman kernel, which now is the kernel of the spectral projection on lower lying eigenstates of the normalized Bochner Laplacian.
