Abstract
The complex Green operator G on CR manifolds is the inverse of the Kohn-Laplacian b on the orthogonal complement of its kernel. In this note, we prove Schatten and Sobolev estimates for G on the unit sphere S2n-1 in Cn. We obtain these estimates by using the spectrum of b and the asymptotics of the eigenvalues of the usual Laplace-Beltrami operator.
