The interior supremum bound for weakly harmonic L^{3/2} functions #

This file proves the first display eq:harm-sup of lem:harmonic-interior in paper/ckn.tex: for a function h that is weakly harmonic on the ball B_ρ(x₀) and lies in L^{3/2}(B_ρ(x₀)),

‖h‖_{L^∞(B_{3ρ/4}(x₀))} ≤ C₁₇ ρ^{-2} ‖h‖_{L^{3/2}(B_ρ(x₀))},

with an absolute constant C₁₇.

The established interior displays weak_harmonic_interior_displays produce a continuously differentiable representative of h on the half ball together with a pointwise bound for that representative on the three-quarter ball. The essential supremum of h itself on the three-quarter ball is obtained here by applying those displays at every centre y ∈ B_{3ρ/4}(x₀) on the ball B_{ρ/4}(y) ⊆ B_ρ(x₀), which identifies h with its representative almost everywhere on B_{ρ/8}(y), and by localizing the resulting null sets: a set that is null in a neighbourhood of each of its points is null in a second-countable space.

The interior supremum bound eq:harm-sup of lem:harmonic-interior. There is an absolute constant C₁₇ such that every weakly harmonic L^{3/2} function on a ball satisfies ‖h‖_{L^∞(B_{3ρ/4})} ≤ C₁₇ ρ^{-2} ‖h‖_{L^{3/2}(B_ρ)}.
