Abstract (Original language)
Résumé

We define weak $Z (q)$ , a generalization of $Z (q)$ on bounded domains $Ω$ in a Stein manifold $M^{n}$ that suffices to prove closed range of $\bar{\partial}$ . Under the hypothesis of weak $Z (q)$ , we also show (i) that harmonic $(0, q)$ -forms are trivial and (ii) if $\partial Ω$ satisfies weak $Z (q)$ and weak $Z (n - 1 - q)$ , then ${\bar{\partial}}_{b}$ has closed range on $(0, q)$ -forms on $\partial Ω$ . We provide examples to show that our condition contains examples that are excluded from $(q - 1)$ -pseudoconvexity and the authors’ previous notion of weak $Z (q)$ .

Nous définissons $Z (q)$ faible, une généralisation de $Z (q)$ sur les domaines bornés $Ω$ dans une variété de Stein $M^{n}$ qui suffit à prouver que l’image de $\bar{\partial}$ est fermée. Sous l’hypothèse d’une $Z (q)$ faible, nous montrons également que (i) les $(0, q)$ -formes harmoniques sont triviales et (ii) si $\partial Ω$ satisfait une $Z (q)$ faible et une $Z (n - 1 - q)$ faible, alors ${\bar{\partial}}_{b}$ a une image fermée sur les $(0, q)$ -formes sur $\partial Ω$ . Nous fournissons des exemples pour montrer que notre condition contient des exemples qui sont exclus de la $(q - 1)$ -pseudoconvexité et la notion précédente des auteurs de $Z (q)$ faible.
