IMPROVED REGULARITY OF SECOND DERIVATIVES FOR SUBHARMONIC FUNCTIONS

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona, Riccardo Tione

In this note, we prove that if a subharmonic function Delta u >= 0 has pure second derivatives partial derivative(ii)u that are signed measures, then their negative part (partial derivative(ii)u)- belongs to L-1 (in particular, it is not singular). We then ...
