The Leibniz rule for the heat operator #
The heat operator ∂ₜ - Δ obeys a product rule on any open set where both factors are jointly
smooth: (∂ₜ - Δ)(χ w) = χ (∂ₜ - Δ) w + w (∂ₜ - Δ) χ - 2 ∇χ · ∇w. This is the pointwise identity
that expands the cutoff-and-heat-kernel product in the interior estimates of the proof of
lem:aniso:annulus, before the divergence term coming from w's own equation is substituted in.

are jointly smooth on a common open set (the corresponding statement, the cutoff-decomposition
