Abstract

Let n1,ΩHnn\geqslant 1, \Omega\subset\mathbb{H}^n be a domain. We construct a Koszul-type complex for the ideal sheaf IX(k)\mathcal{I}_X^{(k)} of kk-regular functions vanishing on X={(q0,q1,,qn1)Ω:q0=0}X=\{(q_0, q_1, \cdots, q_{n-1})\in \Omega: q_0=0\} in several quaternionic variables: 0R(k+2)L~(k)R(k+1)R(k+1)L(k)IX(k)0,0\to \mathcal{R}^{(k+2)}\xrightarrow{\widetilde{\mathscr{L}}^{(k)}} \mathcal{R}^{(k+1)}\oplus\mathcal{R}^{(k+1)}\xrightarrow{\mathscr{L}^{(k)}} \mathcal{I}_X^{(k)}\to 0, where k0k\geqslant 0, R(k)\mathcal{R}^{(k)} is the sheaf of kk-regular functions on Ω\Omega, L~(k)=(L1(k+2),L0(k+2))T\widetilde{\mathscr{L}}^{(k)}=(-L_1^{(k+2)},L_0^{(k+2)})^{T}, L(k)=(L0(k+1),L1(k+1))\mathscr{L}^{(k)}=(L_0^{(k+1)},L_1^{(k+1)}), and L0(k),L1(k)L_0^{(k)},L_1^{(k)} are multiplication-like operators on kk-regular functions. This gives the quaternionic analogue of the classical Koszul complex. And we present the long exact sequence in cohomology for the case Ω{q0=0}=\Omega\cap\{q_0=0\}=\emptyset with explicit differential connecting maps, by applying the Cauchy-Fueter complex and cohomological methods. As an application, in the special case n=1,k=1n=1, k=1, the operator pair (L0(1),L1(1))(L_0^{(1)}, L_1^{(1)}) is shown to be surjective if and only if H3(Ω,R)=0H^3(\Omega, \mathbb{R})=0. Furthermore, a cohomological vanishing criterion is given for H1(Ω,IX(k))H^1(\Omega,\mathcal{I}_X^{(k)}); under this criterion, every kk-regular function on {q0=0}Ω\{q_0=0\}\cap\Omega extends to a kk-regular function on Ω\Omega.
