Slice Selected Gradient Potential #
Part of the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg partial regularity proof.
The pressure-gradient section of the paper controls ∇p through the weak pairing
against a compactly supported test function, as in display (3.5). The Newtonian
derivative potential of a source field is the kernel representation of that weak
gradient. This file records the integrability input that display (3.5) assumes, the
local integrability of a finite sum of such potentials, and the passage from a
per-coordinate Calderón–Zygmund bound to the corresponding bound for the potential of
a vector-valued source.
A function in L^{6/5} with compact support is integrable. This is the
integrability input that display (3.5) of the pressure-gradient section takes for
granted: the source of the Newtonian derivative potential is supported on a compact
set of finite measure, so membership in L^{6/5} may be lowered to membership in
L^1.
The sum over coordinates of the Newtonian derivative potentials of the components
of a compactly supported vector field in L^{6/5} is locally integrable. This is the
weak gradient field appearing on the left-hand side of display (3.5) of the
pressure-gradient section, assembled coordinate by coordinate from its per-coordinate
kernel representation.
Display (3.5) of the pressure-gradient section for a vector-valued source: given a
per-coordinate Calderón–Zygmund selection producing, for each scalar source G in
L^{6/5} with compact support, a weak gradient D together with its pairing identity
and its L^{6/5} bound against G, the coordinate sum of the Newtonian derivative
potentials of the components of V has a weak gradient D satisfying the same
pairing identity against every smooth compactly supported test function, with the
L^{6/5} bound controlled by the sum of the component norms of V.
