Unfolding a sector weak solution into the full ball #
A divergence-form weak solution on a Euclidean ball sector whose values vanish on the flat faces extends oddly, one face at a time, to the whole centred ball. At each unfolding step the coefficient is conjugated by the coordinate sign flip and the scalar source is extended oddly, so the small-contrast bound is preserved and the source only doubles. The chain records the resulting weak equation together with the pointwise oddness and the pinning to the original sector datum.
The same induction over the same sector geometry, with the same four invariants,
appears once more for the Laplacian in
Regularity/SectorReflectionHarmonic.lean. Harmonicity is the special case
a = 1, g = 0 of the equation unfolded here, so the harmonic chain is an
instance of this one; it is kept separate only because it additionally exports
gradient-level reflection symmetry to the sector energy comparison. Once the
sector Campanato route no longer needs that export, the harmonic chain should be
re-derived from this one behind a single equivalence between the harmonic
predicate and its divergence-form reading.
1. Pointwise algebra of the reflected flux #
2. The unfolding chain #
Odd unfolding of a sector weak solution. At every intermediate ball sector the odd extension solves the divergence-form equation for the conjugated coefficient with the oddly extended source, retains the small-contrast bound, restricts to the original datum, is odd under every unfolded face reflection, and keeps the localized zero-trace property needed by the next step.
The odd reflection across all flat faces solves a small-contrast
equation on the whole centred ball. This is the T = S case of the chain,
transported along the identification of the fully unfolded sector with the
ball.
