Tower multitype and global regularity of the $\bar\partial$-Neumann operator

Abstract

A new approach is given to property $(P_q)$ defined by Catlin for $q=1$ in a global and by Sibony in a local context, subsequently extended by Fu-Straube for $q>1$. This property is known to imply compactness and global regularity in the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem by a result of Kohn-Nirenberg, as well as condition $R$ by a result of Bell-Ligocka. In particular, we provide a self-contained proof of property $(P_q)$ for pseudoconvex hypersurfaces of finite D'Angelo $q$-type, the case originally studied by Catlin. Moreover, our proof covers more general classes of hypersurfaces inspired by a recent work of Huang-Yin. Proofs are broken down into isolated steps, some of which do not require pseudoconvexity. Our tools include: a new multitype invariant based on distinguished nested sequences of $(1,0)$ subbundles, defined in terms of derivatives of the Levi form; real and complex formal orbits; $k$-jets of functions relative to pairs of formal submanifolds; relative contact orders generalizing the usual contact orders; a new notion of supertangent vector fields having higher than expected relative contact orders; and a formal variant of a result by Diederich-Fornæss arising as a key step in their proof of Kohn's ideal termination in the real-analytic case.

Pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norm estimates for harmonic functions with fixed analytic part

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. First, we prove a general result for the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian norm which rectify few earlier flawed results. We also consider a new class $\mathcal{F}_0$ consisting of all harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that ${\rm Re\,}\left(1+z\frac{h''(z)}{h'(z)}\right)>0$ for $z\in\mathbb{D}$ with dilatation $ω_f(z)\in Aut(\mathbb{D})$ and obtain best possible estimates of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for functions in the class $\mathcal{F}_0$. Moreover, we obtain the distortion and coefficient estimates of the co-analytic function $g$ when $f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{F}_0$.

The Reciprocal Problem on Weighted Bergman Spaces

The reciprocal problem on weighted Bergman spaces has been posed as an open problem. In this paper, we establish several sufficient conditions for the reciprocal property and clarify the parameter ranges in which the available methods are applicable. In particular, we prove that functions in $A_α^p\cap H^\infty$ enjoy the reciprocal property in the parameter ranges where the required analytic Besov composition theorem is available. In addition, using Hardy boundary estimates, we solve the reciprocal problem in the Drury--Arveson space $H_d^2$ when the dimension is $d=3$, and give an equivalent condition for the reciprocal problem in the four-dimensional Drury--Arveson space.

Solving non-oscillatory solutions of the Hill equation via the Tumura--Clunie method

We consider the Hill equation $f''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}e^{iz})f=0$ ($†$), where $\mathbf{k}\geq 1$ and $\mathbf{l}\geq 0$ are integers and $b_{-\mathbf{l}}$, $\cdots$, $b_{\mathbf{k}}$ are constants such that $b_{\mathbf{k}}\not=0$. We point out that there is a full correspondence between the class of non-oscillatory solutions such that $λ(f)<\infty$ of equation ($†$) and the class of Liouvillian solutions of equation $x^2u''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}x^{i})u=0$ ($‡$). Then this paper has twofold purposes. First, parallel to Kovacic's algorithms to find the Liouvillian solutions of equation ($‡$), we develop the Tumura--Clunie method to find the non-oscillatory solutions of a higher order version of the Hill equation. In this part, we first determine the form of entire solutions of a general Tumura--Clunie type differential equation. Second, for the particular Hill equation $f''-(b_{\mathbf{k}}e^{\mathbf{k}z}+b_{\mathbf{s}}e^{\mathbf{s}z}+b_0)f=0$, where $\mathbf{k}>\mathbf{s}\geq 1$ are integers and $b_{\mathbf{k}}b_{\mathbf{s}}\not=0$, we use the Tumura--Clunie method to determine the non-oscillatory solution $f$ with an additional zero property.
