Proof. The case \( N = 1 \) is familiar from calculus (or see [BKR, Sect. 6.6]). For the \( N \) -dimensional case, write\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}{\mathrm{e}}^{-\pi {\left| x\right| }^{2}}\mathrm{\;d}x = {\int }_{\mathbb{R}}{\mathrm{e}}^{-\pi {x}_{1}^{2}}\mathrm{\;d}{x}_{1}\cdots {\int }_{\mathbb{R}}{\mathrm{...

Lemma 1.1.21. We have\n\n\[ \n{\omega }_{N - 1} = \frac{2{\pi }^{N/2}}{\Gamma \left( {N/2}\right) }\n\]\n\nwhere\n\n\[ \n\Gamma \left( x\right) = {\int }_{0}^{\infty }{t}^{x - 1}{\mathrm{e}}^{-t}\mathrm{\;d}t\n\]\n\nis Euler's gamma function.

Lemma 1.1.22. We have\n\n\\[ \n\\eta \\left( k\\right) = {\\pi }^{n}\\frac{2\\left( {k!}\\right) }{\\left( {k + n - 1}\\right) !},\\;N\\left( k\\right) = {\\pi }^{n}\\frac{k!}{\\left( {k + n}\\right) !}.\n\\]
Proof. Polar coordinates show easily that \\( \\eta \\left( k\\right) = 2\\left( {k + n}\\right) N\\left( k\\right) \\) . So it is enough to calculate \\( N\\left( k\\right) \\) .

Lemma 1.1.23. Let \( z \in B \subseteq {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) and \( 0 < r < 1 \) . The symbol 1 denotes the point \( \left( {1,0,\ldots ,0}\right) \) . Then\n\n\[ \n{K}_{B}\left( {\mathbf{z}, r\mathbf{1}}\right) = \frac{n!}{{\pi }^{n}}\frac{1}{{\left( 1 - r{\mathbf{z}}_{1}\right) }^{n + 1}}.\n\]
Proof. Refer to formula (1.1.1.1) preceding Lemma 1.1.20. Then\n\n\[ \n{K}_{B}\left( {\mathbf{z}, r\mathbf{1}}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{\alpha }\frac{{\mathbf{z}}^{\alpha }{\left( r\mathbf{1}\right) }^{\alpha }}{{\gamma }_{\alpha }} = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 0}}^{\infty }\frac{{\mathbf{z}}_{1}^{k}{r}^{k}}{N\...

Theorem 1.1.24. If \( \mathbf{z},\zeta \in B \), then the Bergman kernel for the unit ball in \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) is\n\n\[ \n{K}_{B}\left( {\mathbf{z},\zeta }\right) = \frac{n!}{{\pi }^{n}}\frac{1}{{\left( 1 - \mathbf{z} \cdot \bar{\zeta }\right) }^{n + 1}}, \]\n\nwhere \( \mathbf{z} \cdot \bar{\zeta } = {\mathbf{z}...
Proof. Let \( \mathbf{z} = r\widetilde{\mathbf{z}} \in B \), where \( r = \left| \mathbf{z}\right| \) and \( \left| \widetilde{\mathbf{z}}\right| = 1 \) . Also, fix \( \zeta \in B \) . Choose a unitary rotation \( \rho \) such that \( \rho \widetilde{\mathbf{z}} = \mathbf{1} \) . Then, by Proposition 1.1.14 and Lemma 1...

Proposition 1.1.26. The Bergman metric for the ball \( B = B\left( {0,1}\right) \subseteq {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) is given by\n\n\[ \n{g}_{ij}\left( z\right) = \frac{n + 1}{{\left( 1 - {\left| z\right| }^{2}\right) }^{2}}\left\lbrack {\left( {1 - {\left| z\right| }^{2}}\right) {\delta }_{ij} + {\bar{z}}_{i}{z}_{j}}\right\r...
Proof. Since \(K\left( {z, z}\right) = n!/\left( {{\pi }^{n}{\left( 1 - {\left| z\right| }^{2}\right) }^{n + 1}}\right) \), this is a routine computation that we leave to the reader.

Proposition 1.1.28. The Bergman kernel for the polydisc \( {D}^{n}\left( {0,1}\right) \subseteq {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) is the product\n\n\[ K\left( {z,\zeta }\right) = \frac{1}{{\pi }^{n}}\mathop{\prod }\limits_{{j = 1}}^{n}\frac{1}{{\left( 1 - {z}_{j}{\bar{\zeta }}_{j}\right) }^{2}}. \]
Proof. Exercise for the reader. Use the uniqueness property of the Bergman kernel.

Lemma 1.2.3. For any \( {z}_{0} \in {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \), any \( \epsilon > 0 \), we have\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{\partial B\left( {{z}^{0},\epsilon }\right) }\eta \left( \bar{z}\right) \land \omega \left( z\right) = n{\int }_{B\left( {{z}^{0},\epsilon }\right) }\omega \left( \bar{z}\right) \land \omega \left( z\right) .\n\]
Proof. Notice that \( \mathrm{d}\eta \left( \bar{z}\right) = \bar{\partial }\eta \left( \bar{z}\right) = {n\omega }\left( \bar{z}\right) \) . Therefore by Stokes’s theorem,\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{\partial B\left( {{z}^{0},\epsilon }\right) }\eta \left( \bar{z}\right) \land \omega \left( z\right) = {\int }_{B\left( {{z}^{0},\...

Corollary 1.2.8. In complex dimension 1, the last corollary says that\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}{\oint }_{\partial \Omega }\frac{f\left( \zeta \right) }{\zeta - z}\mathrm{\;d}\zeta \]
Thus we see that the canonical Szegő integral formula is in fact nothing other than the constructive Cauchy integral formula. But only on the disc!

Proposition 1.2.9. Define\n\n\[ \mathcal{P}\left( {z,\zeta }\right) = \frac{{\left| S\left( z,\zeta \right) \right| }^{2}}{S\left( {z, z}\right) }, z \in \Omega ,\zeta \in \partial \Omega .\n\]\n\nThen, for any \( f \in A\left( \Omega \right) \) and \( z \in \Omega \), it holds that\n\n\[ f\left( z\right) = {\int }_{\p...

Lemma 1.2.11. The functions \( \left\{ {z}^{\alpha }\right\} \), where \( \alpha \) ranges over multi-indices, are pairwise orthogonal and span \( {H}^{2}\left( {\partial B}\right) \) .
Proof. The orthogonality follows from symmetry considerations. For the completeness, notice that it suffices to see that the span of \( \left\{ {z}^{\alpha }\right\} \) is dense in \( A\left( B\right) \) in the uniform topology on the boundary. By the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, the closed algebra generated by \( \left\...

Lemma 1.2.13. Let \( \rho \) be a unitary rotation on \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) . For any \( z \in \bar{B},\zeta \in \partial B \), we have that \( S\left( {z,\zeta }\right) = S\left( {{\rho z},{\rho \zeta }}\right) \) .

Theorem 1.2.14. The Szegő kernel for the ball is\n\n\[ S\left( {z,\zeta }\right) = \frac{\left( {n - 1}\right) !}{2{\pi }^{n}}\frac{1}{{\left( 1 - z \cdot \bar{\zeta }\right) }^{n}}. \]
Proof. Let \( z \in B \) be arbitrary. Let \( \rho \) be the unique unitary rotation such that \( {\rho z} \) is a multiple of 1 . Then, by 1.2.13,\n\n\[ S\left( {z,\zeta }\right) = S\left( {{\rho }^{-1}\mathbf{1},\zeta }\right) \]\n\n\[ = S\left( {\mathbf{1},{\rho \zeta }}\right) = \overline{S\left( {{\rho \zeta },\ma...

Theorem 1.14.2. Let \( \Omega \) be a smoothly bounded domain in \( {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) with boundary having connected components \( {S}_{1},{S}_{2},\ldots ,{S}_{k} \) . For specificity, say that \( {S}_{1} \) is the boundary component that bounds the unbounded portion of the complement of \( \bar{\Omega } \) . Let \( ...
The reader can see that this new theorem is completely analogous to the results presented earlier in the one-variable setting. But it must be confessed that this theorem is something of a canard.

Theorem 2.1.2 (Burns-Shnider-Wells). Let \( k \in \mathbb{N} \) . Let \( \epsilon > 0 \) be small. Let \( {\mathcal{U}}_{\epsilon }^{k} \equiv {\mathcal{U}}_{\epsilon }^{k}\left( B\right) \) be any neighborhood of the ball \( B \subseteq {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) in the \( {C}^{k} \) topology as defined above. If \( n \geq 2...
The last statement of the theorem perhaps merits some explanation. If \( n = 1 \) and \( \epsilon < 1/5 \), then perforce any equivalence class in \( {\mathcal{U}}_{\epsilon }^{k}/ \sim \) will contain only bounded domains that are simply connected. Thus any such domain will, by the Riemann mapping theorem, be conforma...

Lemma 2.1.6. Let \( \Omega \subset {\mathbb{C}}^{n} \) be smoothly bounded and strictly pseudoconvex. Let \( w \in \Omega \) be fixed. Let \( K \) denote the Bergman kernel. There is a constant \( {C}_{w} > 0 \) such that \[ \parallel K\left( {w, \cdot }\right) {\parallel }_{\text{sup }} \leq {C}_{w} \]
Proof. The function \( K\left( {z, \cdot }\right) \) is harmonic. Let \( \phi : \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) be a radial, \( {C}_{c}^{\infty } \) function centered at \( w \) . Assume that \( \phi \geq 0 \) and \( \int \phi \left( \zeta \right) \mathrm{d}V\left( \zeta \right) = 1 \) . Then the mean value property i...

Lemma 2.1.9. For each \( s \in \mathbb{N} \) we have \( W{H}^{\infty }\left( \Omega \right) \subseteq P\left( {{W}_{0}^{s}\left( \Omega \right) }\right) \) .
Proof. Let \( u \in {C}^{\infty }\left( \bar{\Omega }\right) \) . Choose \( v \) according to Lemma 2.1.7. Then \( u - v \in {W}_{0}^{s} \) and \( {Pu} = P\left( {u - v}\right) \) .

Lemma 2.1.10. For any \( g \in {L}^{2}\left( {\Omega }_{2}\right) \), we have\n\n\[ \n{P}_{1}\left( {u \cdot \left( {g \circ \phi }\right) }\right) = u \cdot \left( {\left( {{P}_{2}\left( g\right) }\right) \circ \phi }\right) .\n\]
Proof. Notice that \( u \cdot \left( {g \circ \phi }\right) \in {L}^{2}\left( {\Omega }_{1}\right) \) by change of variables. Therefore\n\n\[ \n{P}_{1}\left( {u \cdot \left( {g \circ \phi }\right) }\right) \left( z\right) = {\int }_{{\Omega }_{1}}{K}_{1}\left( {z,\zeta }\right) u\left( \zeta \right) g\left( {\phi \left...

Proof. The subscript 0 causes no trouble by the definition of \( {W}_{0}^{j} \) . Therefore it suffices to prove an estimate of the form\n\n\[ \parallel g \circ \psi {\parallel }_{{W}_{0}^{j}} \leq C\parallel g{\parallel }_{{W}_{0}^{j + J}},\;\text{ all }g \in {C}_{c}^{\infty }\left( \Omega \right) .\n\nBy the chain ru...

Lemma 2.1.12. For each \( j \in \mathbb{N} \), there is an integer \( J \) so large that if \( g \in \) \( {W}_{0}^{j + J}\left( {\Omega }_{2}\right) \), then \( g \circ \phi \in {W}_{0}^{j}\left( {\Omega }_{1}\right) \) .
Proof. The Cauchy estimates give (since \( \phi \) is bounded) that\n\n\[ \left| {\frac{{\partial }^{\alpha }{\phi }_{\ell }}{\partial {z}^{\alpha }}\left( z\right) }\right| \leq C \cdot {\left( {\delta }_{1}\left( z\right) \right) }^{-\left| \alpha \right| }\;,\;\ell = 1,\ldots, n \]\n\n(2.1.12.1)\n\n\n\nand\n\n\[ \le...

According to (2.1.12.1), \( \left| {u\left( z\right) }\right| \leq C{\delta }_{1}{\left( z\right) }^{-{2n}} \) . Then, by Lemma 2.1.12 and the E...

Lemma 2.1.14. The function \( u \) is bounded from 0 on \( {\bar{\Omega }}_{1} \) .
Proof. By symmetry, we may apply Lemma 2.1.13 to \( {\phi }^{-1} \) and \( \det {J}_{\mathbb{C}}\left( {\phi }^{-1}\right) = 1/u \) . We conclude that \( 1/u \in {C}^{\infty }\left( \overline{{\Omega }_{2}}\right) \) . Thus \( u \) is nonvanishing on \( \bar{\Omega } \) .

Theorem 6.1.1. Any function holomorphic on a neighborhood of \( \bar{\Omega } \) actually continues analytically to \( {D}^{2}\left( {0,1}\right) \equiv D \times D \) . Thus \( \bar{\Omega } \) cannot have a neighborhood basis of pseudoconvex domains. Instead, it has a nontrivial Nebenhülle.
Proof: Let \( U \) be a neighborhood of \( \bar{\Omega } \) . For \( \left| {z}_{1}\right| < 1 \), the analytic discs\n\n\[ \zeta \mapsto \left( {{z}_{1},\zeta \cdot \left| {z}_{1}\right| }\right) \]\n\nhave boundary lying in \( U \) .

The proof will be broken up into a sequence of lemmas and will occupy most of the rest of this section. At the end we shall comment on the Fefferman's asymptotic expansion and how it trumps the work of Bergman, Hörmander, and Diederich.

Lemma 6.7.2. If \( \Omega \) is as in the theorem and \( {\Omega }^{\prime } \subseteq \Omega \) is another domain, then\n\n\[ \left| {{K}_{{\Omega }^{\prime }}\left( {z, z}\right) }\right| \geq \left| {{K}_{\Omega }\left( {z, z}\right) }\right| . \]
Proof: This is obvious from the characterization\n\n\[ \mid {K}_{\Omega }\left( {z, z}\right) = \mathop{\sup }\limits_{\substack{{u \in {A}^{2}\Omega } \\ {\parallel u{\parallel }_{{A}^{2}} = 1} }}\frac{{\left| u\left( z\right) \right| }^{2}}{\parallel u{\parallel }_{{A}^{2}}^{2}}. \]

Lemma 6.13.3. Let \( p \geq 2 + 1/k \) . Any function \( g \in {L}^{p}\left( \Omega \right) \cap \mathcal{O}\left( \Omega \right) \) which is independent of the variable \( w \) extends to a holomorphic function of \( z \) on the disc \( \left| z\right| < 4 \) .
Proof of Lemma 6.13.3. This is the trickiest of the three lemmas.\n\nFirst observe that if \( p = \infty \), then the result follows from the Riemann removable singularities theorem.

Theorem 6.13.4. Let \( p \geq 2 + 1/k \) . Then the space \( P\left( {{C}_{c}^{\infty }\left( \Omega \right) }\right) \) is not a subset of \( {L}^{p}\left( \Omega \right) \) .
Proof: Lemma 6.13.1 tells us that it suffices to show that \( {L}^{p}\left( \Omega \right) \cap \mathcal{O}\left( \Omega \right) \) is not dense in \( {L}^{2}\left( \Omega \right) \cap \mathcal{O}\left( \Omega \right) \) when \( p \geq 2 + 1/k \) .

The proof of Theorem 6.13.8.1 breaks into two parts. The first part consists of proving the a priori inequality (17).
