The main result of this paper is the following regularity result:
THEOREM. Let D ⊂ CNbe a bounded, strongly pseudoconvex domain with bD of class Ck, k ≧ 3. Let Σ ⊂ bD be an N-dimensional totally real submanifold, and let f ∊ A(D) satisfy |f| = 1 on Σ, |f| < 1 on. If Σ is of class Cr, 3 ≦ r < k, then the restriction fΣ = f|Σ of f to Σ is of class Cr − 0, and if Σ is of class Ck, then fΣ is of class Ck − 1.
Here, of course, A(D) denotes the usual space of functions continuous on , holomorphic on D, and we shall denote by Ak(D), k = 1, 2, …, the space of functions holomorphic on D whose derivatives or order k lie in A(D).
