Abstract: We study the $$-Neumann problem for domains $Omega$ contained in a strictly pseudoconvex manifold M^{2n+1} whose boundaries are noncharacteristic and have defining functions depending solely on the real and imaginary parts of a single CR function w. When the Kohn Laplacian is a priori known to have closed range in L^2, we prove sharp regularity and estimates for solutions. We establish a condition on the boundary which is sufficient for the Kohn Laplacian to be Fredholm on $L_{(0,q)}^2(Omega)$ and show that this condition always holds when M is embedded as a hypersurface in C^{n+1}. We present examples where the inhomogeneous $$ equation can always be solved smoothly up to the boundary on (p,q)-forms with 0<q<n-1.
