On regularity of $\overline{\partial }$-solutions on $a_q$ domains with $C^2$ boundary in complex manifolds

Abstract

We study regularity of solutions $u$ to $\overline{\partial }u=f$ on a relatively compact $C^2$ domain $D$ in a complex manifold of dimension $n$, where $f$ is a $(0,q)$ form. Assume that there are either $(q+1)$ negative or $(n-q)$ positive Levi eigenvalues at each point of boundary $\partial D$. Under the necessary condition that a locally $L^2$ solution exists on the domain, we show the existence of the solutions on the closure of the domain that gain $1/2$ derivative when $q=1$ and $f$ is in the Hölder-Zygmund space ${\Lambda }^r(\overline{D})$ with $r>1$. For $q>1$, the same regularity for the solutions is achieved when $\partial D$ is either sufficiently smooth or of $(n-q)$ positive Levi eigenvalues everywhere on $\partial D$.
