DARKO Received 13 April 2001 The Cauchy-Riemann equation is solved with Lp -Sobolev space estimates and the result is used to obtain vanishing theorems on locally polycylindrical domains. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 32W05, 32W10, 35N15. 1. Introduction. In [ 1], Andreotti and Stoll established vanishing theorems for uni- form cohomology on polycylinders and, in [6], Nagel generalized their result to Lp - cohomology 1 ≤p ≤∞, Ck-cohomology, and Hölder cohomology. The obvious classical spaces that were left out are the Sobolev spaces. In this paper, we prove vanishing theorems for Sobolev cohomology on polycylinders and, at the same time, extend our results to a particular generalization of polycylinders called locally polycylindrical do- mains. A polycylinder Ω in Cn is a domain of the form Ω = D1 ×D2 ×···×Dn , where each Dj is a nonempty, bounded open subset of C. And a bounded open set Ω is a locally polycylindrical domain, if for each point x in the boundary ∂Ω of Ω, there is an open neighborhood U of x in Cn such that Ω ∩ U is a polycylinder. A locally x x polycylindrical domain is obviously Stein. ¯ We use the method of establishing estimates for the ∂-operator, developed in [3]. This method has the advantage of giving results on polycylinders more general than the polycylinders considered in [6]. We then use Leray’s isomorphism theorem and
