The force pressure on one time slice #
For a real spatial L² field f, the gradient field (I - ℙ) f of
lem:force-pressure is an L² limit of test gradients. The homogeneous
Sobolev inequality makes the test functions Cauchy in L⁶, and their limit is
an L⁶ pressure with weak gradient (I - ℙ) f. The L⁶ function with a
given weak gradient is unique: an L⁶ function with zero weak gradient
vanishes almost everywhere.
Integration by parts between two whole-space test functions.
A whole-space test function has its classical gradient as weak gradient.
The homogeneous Sobolev inequality for whole-space test functions.
Pairings with a fixed L^q function pass to the limit along a sequence converging in the dual exponent.
The exponents 6 and 6/5 are Hölder conjugate.
The chosen homogeneous Sobolev constant is finite.
Existence in lem:force-pressure on one time slice: for every real
spatial L² field there is an L⁶ pressure whose weak gradient is the
field (I - ℙ) f, with the homogeneous Sobolev bound.
