Abstract

Let (M,J,g,ω)(M,J,g,\omega) be a K\"ahler manifold. We prove a W1,2W^{1,2} weak Bott-Chern decomposition and a W1,2W^{1,2} weak Dolbeault decomposition, following the L2L^2 weak Kodaira decomposition on Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, if the K\"ahler metric is complete and the sectional curvature is bounded, the W1,2W^{1,2} Bott-Chern decomposition is strictly related to the space of W1,2W^{1,2} Bott-Chern harmonic forms, i.e., W1,2W^{1,2} smooth differential forms which are in the kernel of an elliptic differential operator of order 44, called Bott-Chern Laplacian. We also generalize to the non compact case the well known property that on compact K\"ahler manifolds the kernel of the Dolbeault Laplacian and the kernel of the Bott-Chern Laplacian coincide.
