Hölder regularity of the $\bar\partial-$equation on the polydisc

TL;DR
The paper solves the $\bar\partial$-equation on the polydisc $\mathbb{D}^n$ with Hölder regularity preserved: for any $k\ge0$ and $0<\alpha<1$, there exists a bounded linear operator $H$ mapping $Z^{k+\alpha}_{(0,1)}(\mathbb{D}^n)$ to $C^{k+\alpha}(\mathbb{D}^n)$ such that $\bar\partial u=g$ has solution $u=H[g]$ and $KH=0$, where $K$ is the Cauchy torus integral. The construction uses Henkin's weighted formula and is shown to coincide with the Nijenhuis–Woolf operator $T$, yielding a canonical solution operator ($KH=KT=0$). The base case $k=0$ is established via sectorial Hölder estimates for a reduced integral operator, and the general case follows by induction on $k$ using differentiation properties of the singular integrals. The result demonstrates optimal Hölder regularity preservation for product domains and suggests extensions to broader product-domain settings, highlighting the interplay between Henkin’s and NW formalisms.
Abstract
In this note, we show the existence of a solution operator to the $\bar\partial-$equation in the polydisc that preserves Hölder regularity. This solution operator is constructed using Henkin's formula. It is a well-known fact that solution operators to the $\bar\partial-$equation on product domains do not improve Hölder regularity. Hence, this solution operator is optimal in that regard.
