L2 theory on pseudoconcave domains in CP^n

Determine whether, for a bounded pseudoconvex domain Ω ⊂ CP^n with smooth boundary and its pseudoconcave complement Ω^+ = CP^n \overline{Ω}, the L^2 Dolbeault cohomology groups H^{p,q}_{L^2}(Ω^+) vanish for all degrees with p ≠ q and q < n − 1.

Background

The paper develops L2 and Sobolev theory for the ∂̄-operator on domains in complex projective space CPn, proving several solvability and regularity results on pseudoconvex and pseudoconcave settings. While weighted L2 methods and Sobolev estimates are established in various configurations, a complete L2 theory on pseudoconcave domains has not been settled.

The authors explicitly highlight that the L2 theory for pseudoconcave domains, even with smooth boundaries, remains unresolved and point to a specific problem (Problem L2 pseudoconcave) that asks for the vanishing of L2 Dolbeault cohomology for the complement Ω+ of a pseudoconvex domain Ω.

References

We remark that $L2$ theory for even pseudoconcave domains with smooth boundary remains an open question (see Problem \ref{prob:L2 pseudoconcave}).
