This dissertation consists of two parts. In the first part we show that for 1 k 1, a complex manifold M of dimension at least k in the boundary of a smooth
bounded pseudoconvex domain
in Cn is an obstruction to compactness of the @-
Neumann operator on (p, q)-forms for 0 p k n, provided that at some point
of M, the Levi form of b
has the maximal possible rank n − 1 − dim(M) (i.e. the
boundary is strictly pseudoconvex in the directions transverse to M). In particular,
an analytic disc is an obstruction to compactness of the @-Neumann operator on
(p, 1)-forms, provided that at some point of the disc, the Levi form has only one
vanishing eigenvalue (i.e. the eigenvalue zero has multiplicity one). We also show
that a boundary point where the Levi form has only one vanishing eigenvalue can
be picked up by the plurisubharmonic hull of a set only via an analytic disc in the
boundary.
In the second part we obtain a weaker and quantified version of McNealÂs Property
( eP) which still implies the existence of a Stein neighborhood basis. Then we give
some applications on domains in C2 with a defining function that is plurisubharmonic
on the boundary.
