Uniform Estimates of the Cauchy–Riemann Equation and Kerzman’s Question

Abstract We answer a question raised by Kerzman in 1971. More precisely, we show that the canonical solution of the $${\bar{\partial }}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>∂</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mover> </mml:math> -equation satisfies the $$L^p$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:math> estimate on the polydisc for $$p \in [1, \infty ]$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∈</mml:mo> <mml:mo>[</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> <mml:mo>]</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . Moreover, the $$L^p$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:math> estimates for $$p \in [1, \infty ]$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∈</mml:mo> <mml:mo>[</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> <mml:mo>]</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> of $${\bar{\partial }}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>∂</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mover> </mml:math> can also be obtained on the product of bounded $$C^2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:math> planar domains by an observation based on the method developed in [Dong et al. arXiv:2006.14484].
