Discreteness of spectrum for the $\overline\partial$-Neumann Laplacian on manifolds of bounded geometry

Abstract

For a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle over a Hermitian manifold, we consider the Dolbeault Laplacian with ∂-Neumann boundary conditions, which is a selfadjoint operator on the space of square-integrable differential forms with values in the given holomorphic bundle. We argue that some known results on the spectral properties of this operator on pseudoconvex domains in C n continue to hold on Kähler manifolds satisfying certain bounded geometry assumptions. In particular, we will consider the Dolbeault complex for forms with values in a line bundle, where known results from magnetic Schrödinger operator theory can be applied.
