Abstract: This note is aimed at simplifying current literature about compactness estimates for the Kohn-Laplacian on CR manifolds. The approach consists in a tangential basic estimate in the formulation given by the first author in cite{Kh10} which refines former work by Nicoara cite{N06}. It has been proved by Raich cite{R10} that on a CR manifold of dimension $2n-1$ which is compact pseudoconvex of hypersurface type embedded in $C^n$ and orientable, the property named "$(CR-P_q)$" for $1leqqleqfracn-12$, a generalization of the one introduced by Catlin in cite{C84}, implies compactness estimates for the Kohn-Laplacian $Bo{x}_b$ in degree $k$ for any $k$ satisfying $qleqkleqn-1-q$. The same result is stated by Straube in cite{S10} without the assumption of orientability. We regain these results by a simplified method and extend the conclusions in two directions. First, the CR manifold is no longer required to be embedded. Second, when $(CR-P_q)$ holds for $q=1$ (and, in case $n=1$, under the additional hypothesis that $di{b}_b$ has closed range on functions) we prove compactness also in the critical degrees $k=0$ and $k=n-1$.

Review text

The authors extend to the case of an abstract pseudoconvex CR manifold \(M\) of hypersurface type a result stated by \textit{A. C. Nicoara} [Adv. Math. 199, No. 2, 356--447 (2006; Zbl 1091.32017)] for the embedded case. They consider the (CR-\(P_q\))-property of \textit{A. Raich} [Math. Ann. 348, No. 1, 81--117 (2010; Zbl 1238.32032)], which roughly states that there exist locally uniformly bounded real valued functions whose complex Hessian has \(q\) arbitrarily large positive proper values in the analytic tangent to \(M\). Requiring that \(2q\) does not exceed the CR dimension of \(M\), they prove the compactness estimate for tangential \((p,k)\)-forms with \(q\leq{k}\leq \nu-q\), where \(\nu={\mathrm{CR}}\text{-dim}(M)\): for every \(\epsilon>0\) there is \(C_{\epsilon}\geq{0}\) such that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\|u\|^2\leq\epsilon(\|\bar{\partial}_bu\|^2+\|\bar{\partial}^*u\|^2)+C_\epsilon\|u\|^2_{-1},\quad\forall u.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE This inequality extends to the cases \(k=0,\nu\) when \(q=1\) and either \(\bar{\partial}_b\) has closed range on functions, or \(\nu\geq{2}\).
