Let X, Y be complex manifolds with smooth (C∞) boundaries ∂X, ∂Y. We give conditions which ensure that a smooth map Φ: ∂X → ∂Y has an extension to a holomorphic map X → Y. Let J denote the complex structure on X. We say that Φ satisfies the ‘tangential Cauchy-Riemann equation ∂¯bΦ = 0’if the differential dΦ restricted to the complex subspace Tp(∂X) ∩ JTp(∂X) of the tangent space Tp(∂X) is complex linear at all points p ∈ ∂X. Clearly this is a necessary condition for the existence of a holomorphic extension. A further necessary condition is that there exists no topological obstruction to extension, hence we assume that a smooth extension φ: X → Y is given and we shall look for a holomorphic map f: X → Y with the same boundary values.
