A local solvability criterion for partial differential equations with constant coefficients (Q914049)

The authors find out geometric conditions for the local solvability in a point \(\zeta\in \partial G\), \(G\subset {\mathbb{C}}^ 2\) of an equation with the right-hand side function holomorphic in \(G\cap U\), U being a neighborhood of \(\zeta\). Let the major homogeneous part of the polynomial P of the m-th degree, which defines the left hand side linear differential operator with constant coefficients, be zero on the external normal vector to the boundary surface in the point \(\zeta\), and the Hessian of the function, which locally defines the boundary of the domain G, be nondegenerate on the tangent plane. Then the criterion for the local existence of a solution of the equation, holomorphic in \(G\cap V\), \(V\subset U\), is the linear convexity of G in the point \(\zeta\). The authors note that the statements similar in essence are obtained in the real case in \textit{L. Hörmander}'s ``Linear partial differential operators'' (1963; Zbl 0108.093).
