Sobolev and Schatten Estimates for the Complex Green Operator on Spheres (1910.09674v1)

Abstract: The complex Green operator $\mathcal{G}$ on CR manifolds is the inverse of the Kohn-Laplacian $\square_b$ on the orthogonal complement of its kernel. In this note, we prove Schatten and Sobolev estimates for $\mathcal{G}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2n-1}\subset \mathbb{C}^n$. We obtain these estimates by using the spectrum of $\square_b$ and the asymptotics of the eigenvalues of the usual Laplace-Beltrami operator.
