Closed range of $\bar\partial$ in $L^2$-Sobolev spaces on unbounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$

Let $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a domain and $1 \leq q \leq n-1$ fixed. Our purpose in this article is to establish a general sufficient condition for the closed range of the Cauchy-Riemann operator $\bar\partial$ in appropriately weighted $L^2$-Sobolev spaces on $(0,q)$-forms. The domains we consider may be neither bounded nor pseudoconvex, and our condition is a generalization of the classical $Z(q)$ condition that we call weak $Z(q)$. We provide examples that explain the necessity of working in weighted spaces both for closed range in $L^2$ and, even more critically, in $L^2$-Sobolev spaces.
