Hausdorff-$(2n-2)$ dimensional measure zero set and compactness of the $\overline{\partial }$-Neumann operator on $(0,n-1)$ forms

Abstract

By using a variant Property $(P_q)$ of Catlin, we discuss the relation of small set of weakly pseudoconvex points on the boundary of pseudoconvex domain and compactness of the $\overline{\partial }$-Neumann operator. In particular, we show that if the Hausdorff $(2n-2)$-dimensional measure of the weakly pseudoconvex points on the boundary of a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain is zero, then the $\overline{\partial }$-Neumann operator $N_{n-1}$ is compact on $(0,n-1)$-level $L^2$-integrable forms.
