Global Newlander-Nirenberg theorem for domains with $C^2$ boundary (2005.07679v1)

Abstract: The Newlander-Nirenberg theorem says that a formally integrable complex structure is locally equivalent to the standard complex structure in the complex Euclidean space. In this paper, we consider two natural generalizations of the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem under the presence of a $C^2$ strictly pseudoconvex boundary. When a given formally integrable complex structure $X$ is defined on the closure of a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain with $C^2$ boundary $D\subset \mathbb{C}^n$, we show the existence of global holomorphic coordinate systems defined on $\overline{D}$ that transform $X$ into the standard complex structure provided that $X$ is sufficiently close to the standard complex structure. Moreover, we show that such closeness is stable under a small $C^2$ perturbation of $\partial D$. As a consequence, when a given formally integrable complex structure is defined on a one-sided neighborhood of some point in a $C^2$ real hypersurface $M\subset \mathbb{C}^n$, we prove the existence of local one-sided holomorphic coordinate systems provided that $M$ is strictly pseudoconvex with respect to the given complex structure. We also obtain results when the structures are finite smooth.
