Closed range for \(\overline{\partial}\) and \(\overline{\partial}_b\) on bounded hypersurfaces in Stein manifolds (Q5962681)

Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^n\) be a bounded domain with a \(\mathcal{C}^2\) defining function \(\rho.\) If the Levi form of \(b\Omega\) has a least \(n-q\) positive eigenvalues, one says that \(b\Omega\) satisfies \(Z(q).\) Taking the trace of the Levi form with respect to a vector bundle the authors generalize this concept and call it the weak \(Z(q)\) property. They show the following result: Let \(M\) be an \(n\)-dimensional Stein manifold, and let \( \Omega\) be a bounded subset of \(M\) with \(\mathcal{C}^3\) boundary satisfying weak \(Z(q)\) for some \(1\leq q\leq n-1\). Then the space of harmonic \((0,q)\)-forms \(\mathcal{H}^q(\Omega)\) is trivial, the \(\overline \partial\)-Laplacian \(\square^q\) has closed range in \(L^2_{(0,q)}(\Omega)\), the \(\overline \partial\)-Neumann operator \(N^q\) exists and is continuous in \(L^2_{(0,q)}(\Omega),\) the operator \(\overline \partial\) has closed range in \(L^2_{(0,q)}(\Omega)\) and \(L^2_{(0,q+1)}(\Omega)\), and the operator \(\overline \partial^*\) has closed range in \(L^2_{(0,q)}(\Omega)\) and \(L^2_{(0,q-1)}(\Omega)\). If \(b\Omega\) is connected and satisfies weak \(Z(q)\) and weak \(Z(n-q-1)\) for some \(1\leq q < n-1\), then for every \(f\in L^2_{(0,q)}(b\Omega) \cap {\text{ker}}\overline \partial_b\) there exists a \(u\in L^2_{(0,q-1)}(b\Omega)\) satisfying \(\overline \partial_b u = f\), hence, \(\overline \partial_b\) has closed range in \(L^2_{(0,q)}(b\Omega)\).
