Local solutions of the inhomogeneous Cauchy–Riemann equation #
The Cauchy transform gives a right inverse for bar∂ on compactly supported Cⁿ
functions into a complex Banach space, for n ≥ 1. Cutting off the source inside an
open disc gives a solution on any smaller closed disc, hence near any specified point of an open
domain, with the same regularity.
This supplies integrating factors for scalar Cauchy–Riemann equations.
The construction uses the right-inverse identity in TauCeti.Analysis.Complex.Pompeiu.Basic,
where the transform normalized by (2π)⁻¹ inverts 2 bar∂.
The same construction works for families. Cut off a family f, jointly C^n on s ×ˢ U for an
open set U ⊆ ℂ, by a fixed smooth function of the plane variable which equals 1 near a
compact set K ⊆ U. Its normalized transform (TauCeti.Analysis.Complex.Pompeiu.Parameter) is
a family u, jointly C^n on s ×ˢ univ, with bar∂ (u p) = f p near K for every parameter
p ∈ s. The cutoff does not depend on the parameter, so s need not be shrunk, and u is
holomorphic in those parameters in which f is. This is the one-variable step of the
bar∂-Poincaré lemma on polydiscs, which solves in one conjugate variable while keeping smooth
dependence on some of the other variables and holomorphic dependence on the rest.

Local solutions of bar∂ u = f with parameters #
Local solutions of bar∂ u = f with smooth parameters. Let f be a family of maps
ℂ → F which is jointly Cⁿ, 1 ≤ n, on s ×ˢ U for an open set s of parameters and an
open set U ⊆ ℂ, and let K ⊆ U be compact. Then some family u, jointly Cⁿ on s ×ˢ univ,
satisfies bar∂ (u p) = f p near K for every p ∈ s, on a neighbourhood of K independent
of p. No shrinking of the parameter domain is needed.
Local solutions of bar∂ u = f with smooth and holomorphic parameters. Let f be a
family of maps ℂ → F indexed by P × Q, for a real normed space P and a complex normed space
Q, which is jointly Cⁿ, 1 ≤ n, on s ×ˢ U for an open set s ⊆ P × Q and an open set
U ⊆ ℂ, and holomorphic in q ∈ Q at every point of s ×ˢ U. Let K ⊆ U be compact. Then some
family u, jointly Cⁿ on s ×ˢ univ, satisfies bar∂ (u x) = f x near K for every x ∈ s,
on a neighbourhood of K independent of x, and is holomorphic in q on s at every point of
the plane.
