Hölder regularity for \(\square_b\) on hypersurfaces of \(\mathbb{C}^n\), with Levi form decomposable in blocks (Q1589357)

The following results are proved: Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded, pseudoconvex domain in \(\mathbb C^n\) with boundary \(M\) and suppose that \(M\) is a hypersurface of class \(\mathcal C^{\infty}\) near the origin and that \(M\) is pseudoconvex of class \((\mathcal C)\) which means that the Levi form can be decomposed in blocks along the diagonal verifying the trace property, then (a) the operator \((\square_b^q)^{-1} \) maps \(\text{Lip}(s,0)\) into \(\text{Lip}(s+\frac{2}{m}-\varepsilon ,0)\) for each \(\varepsilon >0,\) if \(1\leq q\leq m-2;\) (b) the operators \(\overline \partial_b (\square_b^q)^{-1}\), \(\overline \partial_b^* (\square_b^q)^{-1}\), \((\square_b^q)^{-1} \overline \partial_b\) and \((\square_b^q)^{-1} \overline \partial_b^*\) map \(\text{Lip}(s,0)\) into \(\text{Lip}(s+\frac{1}{m}- \varepsilon ,0)\) for each \(\varepsilon >0,\) if \(1\leq q\leq n-2;\) (c) the operators \(\overline \partial_b \overline \partial_b^*(\square_b^q)^{-1}\), \(\overline \partial_b^* \overline \partial_b (\square_b^q)^{-1}\), \((\square_b^q)^{-1}\overline \partial_b \overline \partial_b^* \overline \partial_b^* \overline \partial_b\), \(\overline \partial_b (\square_b^q)^{-1}\overline \partial_b^* \) and \(\overline \partial_b^* (\square_b^q)^{-1}\overline \partial_b \) map \(\text{Lip}(s,0)\) into \(\text{Lip}(s-\varepsilon \)) for each small \(\varepsilon >0.\) As a corollary one gets that the Szegö projection \(S_b=I- \overline \partial_b^* (\square_b^1)^{-1}\overline \partial_b \) maps \(\text{Lip}(s,0)\) into \(\text{Lip}(s-\varepsilon ,0).\)
