Dolbeault Green operator

ID: dolbeault-green-operator

On a compact Hermitian manifold without boundary, this operator is the inverse of the Dolbeault Laplacian on the orthogonal complement of its harmonic forms and is zero on the harmonic space. Elliptic theory gives , with the harmonic projection, and ensures that sends smooth forms to smooth forms. It commutes with and ; their commutation with the Laplacian and orthogonality to its kernel give this by uniqueness of the inverse. If is -exact, then . On a Kähler manifold, the same operator serves the holomorphic Laplacian because .
