The author constructs homotopy formulas for the \(\overline\partial_b\)-complex of a smooth real hypersurface \(M\) of a complex manifold of dimension \(n\), valid for \(\mathcal C^1\)-forms with compact support and type \((0,q)\), provided Kohn's condition \(Y(q)\) is satisfied. This means that the Levi form has either at least \(\max\{n-q,q+1\}\) eigenvalues of the same sign, or \(\min\{n-q,q+1\}\) pairs of eigenvalues of opposite sign. As an application she obtains vanishing for some local cohomology groups. If the Levi form has \(k\) positive and \(\ell\) negative eigenvalues, she proves vanishing in degree \(q\) when either \(k\geq n-q\geq q+1\), or \(k\geq q+1\), \(\ell\geq q+1\). In particular she constructs pairs of sufficiently small open neighborhoods \((\omega_\delta,\omega^{\delta_1})\) of a given \(z_0\in M\) such that the equation \(\overline\partial_bu=f\) can be solved in \(\omega^{\delta_1}\) for data satisfying \(\overline\partial_bf=0\) in \(\omega_\delta\). The solutions are given by formulas involving integral operators. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00037].
