We establish general sufficient conditions for exact (and global) regularity in the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem on $(p,q)$-forms, $0 \leq p \leq n$ and $1\leq q \leq n$, on a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary $b\Omega$ in…

By establishing a unified estimate of the twisted Kohn-Morrey-H\"{o}rmander estimate and the $q$-pseudoconvex Ahn-Zampieri estimate, we discuss variants of Property $(P_q)$ of Catlin and Property $(\widetilde{P_q})$ of McNeal on the…

The D'Angelo finite type is shown to be equivalent to the Kohn finite ideal type on smooth, pseudoconvex domains in complex n space. This is known as the Kohn Conjecture. The argument uses Catlin's notion of a boundary system as well as…

A theory of global regularity of the d-bar-Neumann operator is developed which unifies the two principal approaches to date, namely the one via compactness due to Kohn-Nirenberg and Catlin, and the one via plurisubharmonic defining…

This thesis deals with Partial Differential Equations in Several Complex Variables and especially focuses on a general estimate for the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem on a domain which is $q$-pseudoconvex or $q$-pseudoconcave at a boundary…

Notions of finite type play an important role in several complex variables. The most standard notion is D'Angelo type, which measures the order of contact of holomorphic curves with the boundary of a domain in ${\mathbb C}^n$. For the $\bar…

For smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains in $mathbb{C}^{2}$, we provide geometric conditions on (the points of infinite type in) the boundary which imply compactness of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann operator. It is noteworthy that the proof…

Let $\Omega\subset\C^n$ be a bounded smooth pseudoconvex domain. We show that compactness of the complex Green operator $G_{q}$ on $(0,q)$-forms on $b\Omega$ implies compactness of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann operator $N_{q}$ on $\Omega$.…

This article chronicles a development that started around 1990 with \cite{BoasStraube91}, where the authors showed that if a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ admits a defining function that is plurisubharmonic…

For a domain $D$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ which is weakly $q$-pseudoconvex or $q$-pseudoconcave we give a sufficient condition for subelliptic estimates for the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem. The paper extends to domains which are not…

The $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem is the fundamental boundary value problem in several complex variables. It features an elliptic operator coupled with non-coercive boundary conditions. The problem is globally regular on many, but not…

This thesis starts from a review on current research on the local hypoellipticity of the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem. It presents the classical method of regularity from estimates of the energy: subelliptic as well as superlogarithmic.…

Let M of real dimension 2n-1 be a compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension at least five, embedded in C^N (n less than or equal to N), of codimension one or more in C^N, and endowed with the induced CR structure. We…

In [6], D'Angelo introduced the notion of finite type for points $p$ of a real hypersurface $M$ of $\mathbb C^n$ by defining the order of contact $\Delta_q(M,p)$ of complex analytic $q$-dimensional varieties with $M$ at $p$. Later, Catlin…

On a smooth, bounded pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$, to verify that Catlin's Property ($P$) holds for $b\Omega$, it suffices to check that it holds on the set of D'Angelo infinite type boundary points. In this note, we…

Motivated by Lang-Vojta's conjecture, we show that the set of dominant rational self-maps of an algebraic variety over a number field with only finitely many rational points in any given number field is finite by combining Amerik's theorem…

In 1979 J.J. Kohn gave an indirect argument via the Diederich-Forn\ae ss Theorem showing that finite D'Angelo type implies termination of the Kohn algorithm for a pseudoconvex domain with real-analytic boundary. We give here a direct…

Let $M$ be a compact, pseudoconvex-oriented, $(2n+1)$-dimensional, abstract CR manifold of hypersurface type, $n\geq 2$. We prove the following: (i) If $M$ admits a strictly CR-plurisubharmonic function on $(0,q_0)$-forms, then the complex…

We give a sufficient condition for subelliptic estimates for the d-bar-Neumann operator on smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. This condition is a quantified version of McNeal's condition ($\tilde{P}$) for compactness…

In this paper we deal with the following question: is it true that any bounded smooth pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ whose boundary contains a $q$-dimensional complex manifold $M$ necessarily has a noncompact…
