Estimates for the Szegö kernel on a model non-pseudoconvex domain

Abstract

The Szegö kernel $S(z,\zeta)$ on the boundary of strictly pseudoconvex domains has been studied extensively. We can consider model domains $\Omega = \{ (z_1,z_2) \in \mathbb{C}^2 \mid -\Im z_2 > b(\Re z_1)\}$. If $b$ is convex, one has $|S(z,\zeta)| \le c|B(z,\delta)|^{-1}$, where $B(z,\delta)$ is the nonisotropic ball with center $z$ and radius $\delta$, and $\delta $ is the nonisotropic distance from $z$ to $\zeta$. The only singularities are on the diagonal $z=\zeta$. In this paper, we obtain estimates for $|S|$ when the function $b$ is a certain non-convex function. We show that near certain points, there are singularities off the diagonal.
