Original Announcement
This workshop will focus on the
many interesting questions that remain about the interaction between
estimates for solutions of the Cauchy-Riemann equations
and the behavior of the Bergman kernel associated to the given norm.
Does knowledge of the Bergman
kernel provide Hörmander type estimates for the solution of
${\overline \partial}$ under weaker pseudoconvexity assumptions?
Another question concerns the link between the off-diagonal decay of
the Bergman kernel and the ability to solve ${\overline \partial}$
with better hypotheses than those given by Hörmander's theorem.
The workshop will consider many test scenarios in which we can formulate
and explore conjectural answers.
Most results about ${\overline \partial}$ require stringent curvature
or potential-theoretic conditions. It is of great geometrical interest
to find solutions for sections of bundles appearing naturally in
the CR setting, such as the infinitesimal CR automorphisms. The workshop
will also discuss how results about ${\overline \partial}$ can be used
in Hermitian analogues of Hilbert's $17$-th problem and related ideas.
