Pointwise estimates of weighted Bergman kernels in several complex variables

Abstract

We prove new pointwise bounds for weighted Bergman kernels in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$, whenever a coercivity condition is satisfied by the associated weighted Kohn Laplacian on $(0,1)$-forms. Our results extend the ones obtained in $\mathbb{C}$ by Christ. Our main idea is to develop a version of Agmon theory (originally introduced to deal with Schrödinger operators) for weighted Kohn Laplacians on $(0,1)$-forms, inspired by the fact that these are unitarily equivalent to certain generalized Schrödinger operators.
