If has complex dimension , its complexified cotangent bundle splits into the and cotangent bundles. The space of global smooth differential forms of type (p, q) isIn holomorphic coordinates, its elements have the form , where the coefficients are complex-valued smooth functions, , and .
The exterior derivative decomposes as . The conjugate Dolbeault operator and Dolbeault operator are its type components:They have bidegrees and respectively. Keeping the displayed wedge order avoids hiding a sign; moving past introduces . Decomposing by type gives and .

Complex conjugation interchanges the Dolbeault operator and conjugate Dolbeault operator. Thus implies , and has type . Its antiholomorphic degree is , so the allowed Dolbeault-Poincaré lemma on the polydisc gives a form satisfying .
