L2L^2-theory for the ∂‾\overline\partial-operator on compact complex spaces

Let $X$ be a singular Hermitian complex space of pure dimension $n$. We use a resolution of singularities to give a smooth representation of the $L^2$-$\overline\partial$-cohomology of $(n,q)$-forms on $X$. The central tool is an $L^2$-resolution for the Grauert-Riemenschneider canonical sheaf $\mathcal{K}_X$. As an application, we obtain a Grauert-Riemenschneider-type vanishing theorem for forms with values in almost positive line bundles. If $X$ is a Gorenstein space with canonical singularities, then we get also an $L^2$-representation of the flabby cohomology of the structure sheaf $\mathcal{O}_X$. To understand also the $L^2$-$\overline\partial$-cohomology of $(0,q)$-forms on $X$, we introduce a new kind of canonical sheaf, namely the canonical sheaf of square-integrable holomorphic $n$-forms with some (Dirichlet) boundary condition at the singular set of $X$. If $X$ has only isolated singularities, then we use an $L^2$-resolution for that sheaf and a resolution of singularities to give a smooth representation of the $L^2$-$\overline\partial$-cohomology of $(0,q)$-forms.Comment: 34 page

Koppelman formulas on the A_1-singularity

In the present paper, we study the regularity of the Andersson-Samuelsson Koppelman integral operator on the $A_1$-singularity. Particularly, we prove $L^p$- and $C^0$-estimates. As applications, we obtain $L^p$-homotopy formulas for the $\bar{\partial}$-equation on the $A_1$-singularity, and we prove that the $\mathcal{A}$-forms introduced by Andersson-Samuelsson are continuous on the $A_1$-singularity.Comment: 23 pages. v3: Minor changes made for the final versio

Modifications of torsion-free coherent analytic sheaves

We study the transformation of torsion-free coherent analytic sheaves under proper modifications. More precisely, we study direct images of inverse image sheaves, and torsion-free preimages of direct image sheaves. Under some conditions, it is shown that torsion-free coherent sheaves can be realized as the direct image of locally free sheaves under modifications. Thus, it is possible to study coherent sheaves modulo torsion by reducing the problem to study vector bundles on manifolds. We apply this to reduced ideal sheaves and to the Grauert-Riemenschneider canonical sheaf of holomorphic n-forms.Comment: 28 pages; the article has been completely rewritten due to a wrong statement in the first versio
