Abstract: We assume that the manifold with boundary, X, has a Spin_C-structure with spinor bundle S. Along the boundary, this structure agrees with the structure defined by an infinite order integrable almost complex structure and the metric is Kahler. The induced CR-structure on bX is integrable and either strictly pseudoconvex or strictly pseudoconcave. We assume that E->X is a complex vector bundle, which has an infinite order integrable complex structure along bX, compatible with that defined along bX. In this paper use boundary layer methods to prove subelliptic estimates for the twisted Spin_C- Dirac operator acting on sections on Sotimes E. We use boundary conditions that are modifications of the classical dbar-Neumann condition. These results are proved by using the extended Heisenberg calculus.

Review text

This is the second paper of a series on modified \(\overline\partial\)-Neumann operators \(\eth\). It contains the analytical setup and the main subelliptic estimates that are needed for the results in part I [Ann. Math. (2) 166, No. 1, 183--214 (2007; Zbl 1154.32016)]. Let \(X\) be a compact \(\text{Spin}_{\mathbb C}\) manifold with a compatible almost complex structure near its boundary \(Y\) that is integrable to infinite order, and such that \(Y\) is strictly pseudoconvex or strictly pseudoconcave. Let \(E\to X\) be a complex vector bundle satisfieing a similar integrability condition near \(Y\). The author recalls the extended Heisenberg calculus that he has developed together with Melrose, and describes various Calderon and Szegő projectors in this setup. He then derives subelliptic estimates for the modified \(\overline\partial\)-Neumann operators \(\eth_{{\mathcal R}_\pm}\) and \(\eth_{\text{Id}-{\mathcal R}_\mp}\) introduced in part I and shows that they give rise to Fredholm operators. The estimates imply that each of these operators has a complete basis of smooth eigenforms.
