Sobolev regularity of the \(\overline\partial\)-equation on the Hartogs triangle (Q1952297)

The authors study estimates in weighted Sobolev norms for the \(\overline{\partial}\)-equation and for the Bergman projection on the Hartogs triangle in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\). If the Hartogs triangle is given by \(\{|z_{1}| < |z_{2}| < 1\}\), then the weight is a power of \(|z_{2}|\). The estimates are as follows. The differentiability roughly is cut in half (from \(2k\) or \(2k+1\) to \(k\), while the exponent in the weight increases by the the differentiability of the data \(2k\)). The authors point out that the loss in differentiability is an artifact of the proof, i.e. of their use of relatively simple Sobolev spaces; it can be avoided through the use of Sobolev spaces more carefully tailored to fit the Hartogs triangle. The main point is the increase of the exponent in the weight; this increase quantifies how much worse the solutions can behave near \(0\) (the bad singularity of the domain) than the data.
