$\bar{\partial}$-equation; $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann operator; compactness
Summary:
We prove that compactness of the canonical solution operator to $\bar \partial$ restricted to $(0,1)$-forms with holomorphic coefficients is equivalent to compactness of the commutator $[\mathcal P,\bar M]$ defined on the whole $L^2_{(0,1)}(\Omega ),$ where $\bar M$ is the multiplication by $\bar z$ and $\mathcal P$ is the orthogonal projection of $L^2_{(0,1)}(\Omega )$ to the subspace of $(0,1)$ forms with holomorphic coefficients. Further we derive a formula for the $\bar \partial$-Neumann operator restricted to $(0,1)$ forms with holomorphic coefficients expressed by commutators of the Bergman projection and the multiplications operators by $z$ and $\bar z$.
