Global homotopy formulas on \(q\)-concave \(CR\) manifolds for large degrees (Q848494)

In a previous paper [\textit{C. Laurent-Thiébaut} and \textit{J. Leiterer}, J. Geom. Anal. 18, 511--536 (2008; Zbl 1154.32013)], the second and the third author obtained a global homotopy formula on forms of small degrees for the Cauchy-Riemann operator in a compact, \(\mathcal C^\infty\), \(q\)-concave CR manifold. It should be stressed the fact that the global operators considered in that formula have the same regularity properties of the corresponding local operators. In this paper, the above result is extended to the case of forms of large degrees. The proof uses arguments of Functional Analysis and a Friedrichs approximation lemma for first order differential operators in \(\mathcal C^k\) topology.
