Abstract

top
Let F be a relatively closed subset of a Stein manifold. We prove that the ∂ ¯ -cohomology groups of Whitney forms on F and of currents supported on F are either zero or infinite dimensional. This yields obstructions of the existence of a generic C R embedding of a CR manifold M into any open subset of any Stein manifold, namely by the nonvanishing but finite dimensionality of some intermediate ∂ ¯ M -cohomology groups.
