Regularity of \(\overline{\partial}\) on pseudoconvex domains in \(\mathbb{C}^2\)

Dariush Ehsani, Hochschule Merseburg, Germany
Let \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^2\) be a smoothly bounded weakly pseudoconvex domain. We discuss the regularity of the solution to the \(\overline{\partial}\)-equation on \(\Omega\), i.e. we look to solve \(\overline{\partial}u=f\) for \(f\in W^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega)\). A result of Barrett shows that the canonical solution cannot always be used when one is looking for a solution in \(W^s(\Omega)\). We construct a solution operator which does exhibit regularity. Define the space \(A^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega) = W^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega) \cap\operatorname{ker }\overline{\partial}\) and assign to it the norm from \(W^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega)\). Our main result is the existence of a solution operator \(K\) such that \(\overline{\partial} K f = f\) for all \(f\in A^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega)\) and \begin{equation*} K\colon A^s_{(0,1)} (\Omega)\rightarrow W^{s+1/2}(\Omega). \end{equation*} for all \(s\ge0\).
