Abstract

For a large class of subharmonicφ, the equation\(\bar \partial u = f\) is studied in\(\mathcal{H} = L^2 (\mathbb{C}^1 ,e^{ - \varphi } )\). Pointwise upper bounds are derived for the distribution kernels of the canonical solution operator and of the orthogonal projection onto the space of entire functions inH. Existence theorems inL p norms are derived as a corollary. A class of counterexamples, related to the failure of\(\bar \partial _b \) to be analytic-hypoelliptic on certain CR manifolds, is discussed.
