The parabolic rescaling as a change of variables #
The parabolic rescaling (y, s) ↦ (x₀ + μ y, t₀ + μ² s) is a homeomorphism of space-time whose
Jacobian is the constant μ⁵. This file records what is needed to move a statement proved on the
unit cylinder to a statement on the cylinder B(x₀, μ) × (t₀ - μ², t₀]: the preimage of a
parabolic cylinder, the change of variables for lower Lebesgue integrals, and the transport of an
almost-everywhere statement. A last lemma assembles almost-everywhere bounds on a countable family
of sets into one bound on a set that the family covers.
The parabolic rescaling is a measurable embedding.
The parabolic rescaling is measurable.
Membership in a parabolic cylinder, read on the components of a space-time point.
A parabolic cylinder is measurable.
The rescaling carries the cylinder of radius r at the origin onto the cylinder of radius
μ r at z₀.
The rescaling pushes the measure restricted to a preimage forward to a multiple of the measure restricted to the set.
Change of variables for a lower Lebesgue integral along the parabolic rescaling: no measurability of the integrand is needed, because the rescaling is a measurable embedding.
An almost-everywhere statement on the preimage of a set transports to the set itself.
Almost-everywhere bounds on a countable family of measurable sets give an almost-everywhere bound on any measurable set the family covers.
