Abstract: It is an observation due to J. J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain $ \Omega$ in $ \mathbb{C}^n$ there exists $ s>0$ such that the $ \overline{\partial}$-Neumann operator on $ \Omega$ maps $ W^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega)$ (the space of $ (0,1)$-forms with coefficient functions in $ L^2$-Sobolev space of order $ s$) into itself continuously. We show that this conclusion does not hold without the smoothness assumption by constructing a bounded pseudoconvex domain $ \Omega$ in $ \mathbb{C}^{2}$, smooth except at one point, whose $ \overline{\partial}$-Neumann operator is not bounded on $ W^s_{(0,1)}(\Omega)$ for any $ s>0$.
