Vorticity charts and spatial propagation of vanishing #
On a unit past cylinder where a suitable solution has bounded velocity,
thm:vorticity-regularity gives a regular vorticity representative. Unique
continuation (thm:uc) applied at every top time near t then propagates
vanishing of the weak vorticity near (x', t) to a space-time neighborhood of
(x, t) whenever x' is close to x; this is the closedness step in the
proof of thm:ess-local (spatial unique continuation).
An essential upper bound of a function continuous on an open parabolic set holds at every point of that set.
A property holding almost everywhere near every point of a parabolic set holds almost everywhere on that set.
