One method for proving sharp regularity estimates in Hölder and \(L^p\)-Sobolev spaces for the \(\overline\partial\)-Neumann problem on pseudoconvex domains of finite type is to transfer the problem to the boundary, reducing the problem to the study of the tangential Cauchy-Riemann complex. This method was implemented for strongly pseudoconvex domains in~\(\mathbb{C}^n\) by \textit{P.~C. Greiner} and \textit{E.~M. Stein} [Estimates for the \(\overline\partial\)-Neumann problem, Mathematical Notes. 19. Princeton, N. J.: Princeton University Press (1977; Zbl 0354.35002)] and for domains of finite type in~\(\mathbb{C}^2\) by \textit{D.-C. Chang}, \textit{A.~Nagel} and \textit{E.~M. Stein} [Acta Math. 169, No. 3--4, 153--228 (1992; Zbl 0821.32011)]. The author presents a new approach to this method, thereby simplifying the proofs in the cited works and extending the results. This article proves a general theorem to the effect that isotropic Hölder and Sobolev estimates for the \(\overline\partial\)-Neumann problem on pseudoconvex domains of finite type follow from the corresponding estimates for the \(\overline\partial_b\)-complex. Moreover, the author establishes optimal Hölder and Sobolev regularity of the \(\overline\partial\)-Neumann problem, both isotropic and non-isotropic, for domains satisfying the condition \(D(q)\) which is a comparability condition on the eigenvalues of the Levi form. Once the machinery is in place, it is possible to read off various other interesting results. For example, the author shows that when the \(\overline\partial_b\)-complex has a gain of \(\delta\)~derivatives, then the norm of the difference between the Bergman and Szegő projections of a function~\(u\) is controlled by the norm of \(\overline\partial u\), with a gain of \(2\delta\) derivatives.
