Abstract: The purpose of this article is to study compactness of the complex Green operator on CR manifolds of hypersurface type. We introduce (CR-P_q), a potential theoretic condition on $(0,q)$-forms that generalizes Catlin's property (P_q) to CR manifolds of arbitrary codimension. We prove that if an embedded CR-manifold of hypersurface type satisfies (CR-P_q) and (CR-P_{n-1-q}) and is of real dimension at least five, then the complex Green operator is a compact operator on the Sobolev spaces $H_{0,q}^s(M)$, if $1leqqleqn-2$ and $sgeq0$. We use CR-plurisubharmonic functions to build a microlocal norm that controls the totally real direction of the tangent bundle.

Review text

A surface \(S\subset \mathbb{R}^k\) satisfies property \((CR-P_q)\) if for every \(A>0,\) there exists a function \(\lambda\) and a neighborhood \(U\supset S\) so that \(0\leq \lambda \leq 1\) and \(\lambda\) is CR-plurisubharmonic on \((0,q)\)-forms on \(U\) with plurisubharmonicity constant \(A.\) The main result is the following: Let \(M\subset \mathbb{C}^N\) be a smooth, compact, orientable weakly pseudoconvex CR-manifold of hypersurface type of real dimension \((2n-1)\) that satisfies \((CR-P_q)\) and \((CR-P_{n-1-q}).\) If \(1\leq q \leq n-2\) and \(s\geq 0,\) then \(\overline \partial_b\) and \(\overline \partial_b^*\) acting on the Sobolev space \(H^s_{(0,q)}\) have closed range, the complex Green operator \(G_q\) exists and is a compact operator on \(H^s_{(0,q)},\) and the space of harmonic forms is finite dimensional.
