We use complex-valued smooth differential forms. The sheaf of smooth differential forms is , with the usual restriction maps. Dualizing the type decomposition of the complexified tangent bundle and taking exterior powers decomposes this bundle into the summands
Their smooth sections form the sheaf of differential forms of type (p, q) . Locally a section is a sum of with , and smooth coefficients. Holomorphic transition maps preserve types, so the local decompositions agree globally. Hence
The exterior derivative splits as , with bidegrees and . Its square being zero gives and . The Dolbeault cohomology is therefore
Forms in negative or out-of-range bidegrees are understood to be zero.
