Space-time mollification on ℝ³ × ℝ #
A normalized smooth bump kernel on Vec3 × ℝ, convolution with it, and its
basic properties: smoothness of the mollified function, control of its
support, the L² contraction bound, and L² convergence as the radius
tends to zero. These are used to extend the Carleman inequalities from
smooth compactly supported fields to Sobolev fields (lem:carleman-sobolev
of the Escauriaza–Seregin–Šverák manuscript).
Convolution with the normalized space-time kernel of radius δ.

Convolution with the space-time kernel is smooth for locally integrable data.
Convolution with the space-time kernel preserves compact support.
The support after mollification lies within distance δ of the original support.
Componentwise mollification of fields with scalar components. This includes Vec3 values
and fields with values Fin 3 → Vec3.

Componentwise mollification preserves smoothness.
The support of a componentwise mollification lies within distance δ of the field support.
Componentwise mollification has compact support when the input field does.
