Abstract

Kohn introduced in 1979 the algorithm of multipliers to study the subelliptc estimate of the ˉ\bar\partial-Neumann problem for a smooth weakly pseudoconvex domain in a complex Euclidean space which satisfies D'Angelo's finite type condition of a finite bound for the normalized touching order to the boundary for any local possibly singular holomorphic curve in the complex Euclidean space. The problem can be regarded as an example of the formulation of H\"ormander's 1967 hypoelliptic result for the case of complex-valued vector-valued unknowns. So far the effective solution of Kohn's problem is known only for special domains Re(zn+1)+j=1Nfj2<0{\rm Re}(z_{n+1})+\sum_{j=1}^N|f_j|^2<0 in Cn+1{\mathbb C}^{n+1} with fjf_j holomorphic in z1,...,znz_1,...,z_n, because for such domains it suffices to deal with holomorphic multipliers. One main obstacle to treat the general smooth case is the need to deal with nonholomorphic multipliers. This note introduces a new technique to handle nonholomorphic multipliers occurring in more general domains with fjf_j holomorphic in all the n+1n+1 variables z1,...,zn,zn+1z_1,...,z_n,z_{n+1}.
