A precise result on the boundary regularity of biholomorphic mappings (Q1082500)

Let \(\Omega_ 1\), \(\Omega_ 2\subset \subset {\mathbb{C}}^ n\) be strongly pseudoconvex domains with \(C^ k\) boundary, with \(k\leq \infty\). There is a sizeable literature devoted to proving that a biholomorphic mapping \(f: \Omega\) \({}_ 1\to \Omega_ 2\) extends to a smooth mapping on \(\overline{\Omega}_ 1\). In the present work, the author defines a notion of smoothness called \(S^ k\), which lies between \(C^ k\) and \(C^{k+1}\). A domain \(\Omega\) has boundary of class \(S^ k\) if \(\partial \Omega\) is \(C^ k\) and the (complex) Gauss mapping taking \(z\in \partial \Omega\) to the complex tangent space \(T_{z}^{{\mathbb{C}}}(\partial \Omega)\) is of class \(C^ k.\) The main result is: If \(\partial \Omega_ 1\), \(\partial \Omega_ 2\) are strongly pseudoconvex and of class \(S^ k\), then a biholomorphic mapping \(f: \Omega\) \({}_ 1\to \Omega_ 2\) extends to \(\overline{\Omega}_ 1\) to be \(S^ k\), i.e. \(f\in C^ k(\overline{\Omega}_ 1)\) and the complex tangential part of f' on \(\partial \Omega_ 1\) is also \(C^ k\).
