A first-round localization cutoff at arbitrary centre #
Paper label eq:local-equation localizes the equation to a parabolic ball of
arbitrary centre and radius. This file supplies the geometry and the smooth
cutoff that the first bootstrap round uses. The open parabolic box
B_r(x) × (t - r², t + r²) is exactly the parabolic metric ball of eq:parabolic-ball
read through spaceTimeSet, the same set is its own preimage along the product
identification, and a ball sitting compactly inside the space-time domain
admits a smooth cutoff equal to one on the inner quarter-ball, supported inside
the three-eighths-ball, and contained in the product box of half radius.
Equation eq:local-equation, in box form: spaceTimeSet applied to the spatial
ball vec3Ball z₀.1 r and the time interval (z₀.2 - r², z₀.2 + r²) is the parabolic
metric ball Metric.ball z₀ r of eq:parabolic-ball.
Equation eq:local-equation, preimage form: the product box of spatial ball and
open time interval is contained in the preimage of the parabolic metric ball under the
product identification parabolicHomeomorph.symm.
Equation eq:local-equation, first-round cutoff: a parabolic ball of radius 2R
inside the space-time domain Ω × I admits a smooth cutoff φ with values in [0, 1],
equal to one on the ball of radius R/4, supported in the ball of radius 3R/8, and
supported in the product box of spatial radius R/2 and time half-width (R/2)², which
is compactly interior to Ω × I.
