ESI Senior Research Fellow Program, spring term 2005

The L2-Sobolev theory of the d-bar-Neumann problem

Course of advanced graduate lectures by

Professor Emil Straube
(Texas A&M University)

lectures: May 18, 20, 24, 25 and June 1, 3 at 13:00 - 15:00 (to be continued in fall term)
seminar: tba

 
This course treats the L2-Sobolev regularity theory of the d-bar-Neumann problem on bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean space, with an emphasis on global regularity (in L2-Sobolev spaces) and compactness. Starting with some classical results from the sixties which form the bedrock of the theory, the course will lead to current developments in the area.

A brief outline is as follows: the L2 existence theory, strongly pseudoconvex domains, regularity in general pseudoconvex domains, finite type and subelliptic estimates, compactness, global regularity. Except for the chapter on finite type and subelliptic estimates, I plan to give complete proofs of the main results. The course will be at the advanced graduate level; in particular, a solid background in real, functional, and complex analysis (including basic several complex variables) is expected.
