On the singularities of the Szegő kernels on CR orbifolds

Abstract

In this paper we study the microlocal properties of the Szegő kernel of a given compact connected orientable CR orbifold whose Kohn Laplacian has closed range. This last assumption is satisfied if certain geometric conditions hold true, as in the smooth case. As applications, we give a pure analytic proof of Kodaira-Bailey theorem and explain how to generalize a CR version of quantization commutes with reduction to orbifolds.
