TITLE: $\bar{\partial}$-Poincaré lemma
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: This is $\bar{\partial}$-Poincaré lemma: Given a holomorphic funtion $f:U\subset \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ ,locally on $U$ there is a holomorphic function $g$ such that : $$\frac{\partial g}{\partial \bar z}=f$$
The author says that this is a local statement so we may assume $f$ with compact support and defined on the whole plane $\mathbb{C}$, my question is why she says that... thanks.
*Added*
$f,g$ are suppose to be $C^k$ not holomorphic, by definition $$\frac{\partial g}{\partial \bar z}=0$$ if $g$ were holomorphic...

REPLY [2 votes]: I don't have the book, and thus I can't check the statement. 
However, I believe that the statement holds for smooth $f$.  
Basically we want to construct/find $g$ as the following integral:
$$g(z) = \frac{1}{2 \pi i}\int_{w\in \mathbb{C}} \frac{f(w)}{z-w} d\overline{w}\wedge dw$$
In order to do this, $f$ must be defined over the whole complex plane.
