Containment of parabolic cylinders inside the unit cylinder #
The two theorems below establish that a parabolic cylinder based at (x, s) with
s < 0 and radius r satisfying r ≤ r' and r² - s ≤ r'² is contained in the
r'-thickened unit cylinder vec3Ball x r' ×ˢ (-r'², 0). The second theorem
replaces the cylinder by its closure and uses the unit cylinder itself, the
natural ambient set for the interior partial-regularity estimates of
arXiv:2609.20803.
A parabolic cylinder based at (x, s) with s < 0 and radius r is contained in
vec3Ball x r' ×ˢ (-r'², 0) whenever r ≤ r' and r² - s ≤ r'².
The closure of a parabolic cylinder based at (x, s) with s < 0 is contained in
the unit cylinder spaceTimeSet (vec3Ball 0 1) (Ioo (-1) 0) provided the cylinder
itself is already trapped inside the unit ball in the spatial direction and its lower
time boundary is above -1.
