Geometric conditions which imply compactness of the $\overline{\partial }$-Neumann operator
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 54 (2004) no. 3, pp. 699-710.

For smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains in ${ℂ}^{2}$, we provide geometric conditions on the boundary which imply compactness of the $\overline{\partial }$-Neumann operator. It is noteworthy that the proof of compactness does not proceed via verifying the known potential theoretic sufficient conditions.

On donne, pour les domaines lisses bornés pseudoconvexes de ${ℂ}^{2}$, des conditions géométriques concernant le bord qui entraînent la compacité de l’opérateur $\overline{\partial }$-Neumann. Il est remarquable que la preuve de la compacité ne procède pas par verification des conditions suffisantes bien connues de type théorie du potentiel.
