Cauchy-type integrals in several complex variables

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present the theory of Cauchy-Fantappi'e integral operators, with emphasis on the situation when the domain of integration, D, has minimal boundary regularity. Among these operators we focus on those that are more closely related to the classical Cauchy integral for a planar domain, whose kernel is a holomorphic function of the parameter zinD. The goal is to prove Lp estimates for these operators and, as a consequence, to obtain Lp estimates for the canonical Cauchy-Szeg"o and Bergman projection operators (which are not of Cauchy-Fantappi'e type).


The paper under review is the survey on the Cauchy-type integrals in several complex variables. The authors also present some new results concerning these operators and focus on constructions of such operators (as well as the establishment of their \(L^p\) mapping properties) under minimal conditions of smoothness of the boundary of the domain \(D\) in question.NEWLINENEWLINEFrom the introduction of the paper under review: ``This survey is organized as follows. In Sect. 2 we briefly review the situation of one complex variable. Section 3 is devoted to a few generalities about Cauchy-type integrals when \(n\), the complex dimension of the ambient space, is greater than 1. The Cauchy-Fantappié forms are taken up in Sect. 4 and the corresponding Cauchy-Fantappié integral operators are set out in Sect. 5. (...)NEWLINENEWLINEThe Cauchy-Fantappié integrals constructed up to that point may however lack the basic requirement of producing holomorphic functions, whatever the given data is. In other words, the kernel of the operator may fail to be holomorphic in the free variable \(z\in D\). To achieve the desired holomorphicity requires that the domain \(D\) be pseudo-convex, and two specific forms of this property, strong pseudo-convexity and strong \(\mathbb C\)-linear convexity are discussed in Sect. 6.NEWLINENEWLINEThere are several approaches to obtain the required holomorphicity when the domain is sufficiently smooth and strongly pseudo-convex. (...) It requires to start with a ``locally holomorphic kernel, and then to add a correction term obtained by solving a \(\bar{\partial}\)-problem. These matters are discussed in Sects. 7--9. (...)NEWLINENEWLINEThe main \(L^p\) estimates for the Cauchy-Leray integral and the Szegő and Bergman projections (for \(\mathcal C^2\) boundaries) are the subject of a series of forthcoming papers; in Sect. 10 we limit ourselves to highlighting the main points of interest in the proofs. (...) Section 11 highlights a further result concerning the Cauchy-Leray integral, also to appear in a separate paper: the corresponding \(L^p\) theorem under the weaker assumption that the boundary is merely of class \(\mathcal C^{1,1}\).
