The single-face harmonicity transfer #
Let U be an open bounded convex domain symmetric under the reflection r in
the hyperplane {yᵢ = a}, and let H = faceHalf U i a σ be one of the two open
halves it cuts. If v is weakly harmonic on H, then its odd extension
across the face — w = v - v ∘ r after zero extension off H — is weakly
harmonic on all of U.
Scope #
The H¹(U) packaging of the odd extension is an input here: the theorem
takes an H1Function U whose recorded gradient is the odd extension of the
zero-extended gradient of v, and proves that it is weakly harmonic. Producing
that packaging from a localized zero-trace hypothesis on the met face is the
separate job of the weak-gradient locality lemma
(WeakGradientLocality.lean) — the harmonicity proved here never uses the
zero-trace hypothesis, only the harmonicity of v on the half.

1. Reflection algebra #
The coordinate reflection is self-adjoint for the coordinate dot product.
The coordinates of the face reflection: the normal coordinate is flipped
about a, the tangential ones are untouched.
A point of the reflecting hyperplane is fixed.
If U is invariant under the reflection, so is the closed support of any
test function supported in U — hence the reflected test is again supported in
U.

The single-face harmonicity transfer.
U is an open bounded convex domain invariant under the reflection r in
{yᵢ = a}; H = faceHalf U i a σ is the open half on the σ-side; v is
weakly harmonic on H; and w is an H¹(U) function whose gradient is the
odd extension of v's gradient, zero-extended off H. Then w is weakly
harmonic on U.
The proof folds the test function oddly, ψ = φ - φ ∘ r, uses to make ψ an
admissible H¹₀(H) competitor, and reduces the reflected half of the integral
to H by the measure-preserving change of variables.
