\(C^k\) estimates for \(\bar{\partial}_b\) on convex finite type domains in \(\mathbb C^n\) (Q1426622)

Let \(D\subset{\mathbb C}^n\) be a bounded convex domain of finite type \(m\). The author constructs two continuous integral operators \(T_q,\widetilde{T}_q:C^p_{0,q}(bD)\to C^{p+1/m}_{0,q}(bD)\) such that for any form \(h\in C^p_{0,q}(bD)\) with \(\overline\partial_b h\in C^p_{0,q+1}(bD)\) the following homotopy formula holds: \[ h=\overline\partial_b(T_q-\widetilde{T}_q)h+ (T_{q+1}-\widetilde{T}_{q+1}) \overline\partial_b h\,. \] (Here \(q\) runs from \(1\) to \(n-1\) and for \(q=n-1\) the form \(h\) should also satisfy the moment condition.) In particular one obtains a solution with \(C^k\)--estimates of the \(\overline\partial_b\)-equation on \(bD\). The proof uses a variant of \textit{K. Diederich} and \textit{J. E. Fornaess} support function [Math. Z. 230, No. 1, 145--164 (1999; Zbl 1045.32016)] as constructed by the author in Publ. IRMA Lille 54 (III) (2001). In the case of a strongly pseudoconvex domain estimates such those studied in the paper under review go back to the seminal work of \textit{G. M. Henkin} [Russ. Math. Surv. 32, No. 3, 59--130 (1977; Zbl 0382.35038)].
