Zusammenfassung:We describe along the guidelines of Kohn (Quantitative Estimates for Global Regularity. Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, pp. 97–128. Trend Math. Birkhäuser, Boston, 1999 ), the constant E s which is needed to control the commutator of a totally real vector field T E with ∂ ¯ ∗ in order to have H s a-priori estimates for the Bergman projection B k , k ≥ q - 1 , on a smooth q -convex domain D ⊂ ⊂ C n . This statement, not explicit in Kohn (Quantitative Estimates for Global Regularity. Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, pp. 97–128. Trend Math. Birkhäuser, Boston, 1999 ), yields regularity of B k in specific Sobolev degree s . Next, we refine the pseudodifferential calculus at the boundary in order to relate, for a defining function r of D , the operators ( T + ) - δ 2 and ( - r ) δ 2 . We are thus able to extend to general degree k ≥ 0 of B k , the conclusion of (Quantitative Estimates for Global Regularity. Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, pp. 97–128. Trend Math. Birkhäuser, Boston, 1999 ) which only holds for q = 1 and k = 0 : if for the Diederich–Fornaess index δ of D , we have ( 1 - δ ) 1 2 ≤ E s , then B k is H s -regular.
