Cohomology and extension problems for semi \(q\)-coronae (Q884967)

The authors study the extension problem for analytic objects defined on \(q\)-coronae and semi \(q\)-coronae. A \(q\)-corona is a (connected and reduced) complex space \(X\) for which there exists a compact subset \(K\) and a smooth positive function \( \phi: X \to \mathbb{R}\), which is strongly \(q\)-plurisubharmonic on \(X \backslash K\) such that \(0= \min_ \phi{X} < \min_ \phi{K}\) and for every \( 0< \epsilon < \min_ \phi{K}\) , and \(c >\max_ \phi{K}\) the subset \(B_{\epsilon, c}\) given by \( \{ x \in X : \epsilon < \phi (x) < c \}\) is relatively compact in \(X\). A semi \(q\)-corona is obtained from a strongly \(q\)- pseudoconvex space or from a \(q\)-corona and its boundary is a union of a Levi-flat part, a \(q\)-pseudoconvex part and a \(q\)-pseudoconcave part. By using cohomological techniques the authors prove that under suitable regularity conditions, holomorphic functions defined on a complete (\(K = \emptyset\)) semi 1-corona ``fill in the holes''. More general extensions for sections of coherent sheaves divisors and analytic sets of codimension one are also obtained. An example showing that not all divisors extend is also presented.
