Title: The Zaremba problem in two-dimensional Lipschitz graph domains
We study the Zaremba problem, or mixed problem associated to the Laplace operator, in two-dimensional Lipschitz graph domains with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary data in Lebesgue and Lorentz spaces. We obtain an explicit value r r such that the Zaremba problem is solvable in L p L^p for 1 > p > r 1>p>r and in the Lorentz space L r , 1 L^{r,1} . Applications include those where the domain is a cone with vertex at the origin and, more generally, a Schwarz–Christoffel domain. The techniques employed are based on results of the Zaremba problem in the upper half-plane, the use of conformal maps and the theory of solutions to the Neumann problem. For the case when the domain is the upper half-plane, we work in the weighted setting, establishing conditions on the weights for the existence of solutions and estimates for the non-tangential maximal function of the gradient of the solution. In particular, in the L 2 L^2 -unweighted case, where known examples show that the gradient of the solution may fail to be squared-integrable, we prove restricted weak-type estimates.  more » « less

  1. We prove a single-value version of Reshetnyak’s theorem. Namely, if a non-constant map f W l o c 1 , n ( Ω , R n ) f \in W^{1,n}_{\mathrm {loc}}(\Omega , \mathbb {R}^n) from a domain Ω R n \Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^n satisfies the estimate | D f ( x ) | n K J f ( x ) + Σ ( x ) | f ( x ) y 0 | n \lvert Df(x) \rvert ^n \leq K J_f(x) + \Sigma (x) \lvert f(x) - y_0 \rvert ^n at almost every x Ω x \in \Omega for some K 1 K \geq 1 , y 0 R n y_0\in \mathbb {R}^n and Σ L l o c 1 + ε ( Ω ) \Sigma \in L^{1+\varepsilon }_{\mathrm {loc}}(\Omega ) , then f 1 { y 0 } f^{-1}\{y_0\} is discrete, the local index i ( x , f ) i(x, f) is positive in f 1 { y 0 } f^{-1}\{y_0\} , and every neighborhood of a point of f 1 { y 0 } f^{-1}\{y_0\} is mapped to a neighborhood of y 0 y_0 . Assuming this estimate for a fixed K K at every y 0 R n y_0 \in \mathbb {R}^n is equivalent to assuming that the map f f is K K -quasiregular, even if the choice of Σ \Sigma is different for each y 0 y_0 . Since the estimate also yields a single-value Liouville theorem, it hence appears to be a good pointwise definition of K K -quasiregularity. As a corollary of our single-value Reshetnyak’s theorem, we obtain a higher-dimensional version of the argument principle that played a key part in the solution to the Calderón problem.

  2. We formulate and prove a Conner–Floyd isomorphism for the algebraic K-theory of arbitrary qcqs derived schemes. To that end, we study a stable ∞<#comment/> \infty -category of non- A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -invariant motivic spectra, which turns out to be equivalent to the ∞<#comment/> \infty -category of fundamental motivic spectra satisfying elementary blowup excision, previously introduced by the first and third authors. We prove that this ∞<#comment/> \infty -category satisfies P 1 \mathbb {P}^1 -homotopy invariance and weighted A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -homotopy invariance, which we use in place of A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -homotopy invariance to obtain analogues of several key results from A 1 \mathbb {A}^1 -homotopy theory. These allow us in particular to define a universal oriented motivic E ∞<#comment/> \mathbb {E}_\infty -ring spectrum M G L \mathrm {MGL} . We then prove that the algebraic K-theory of a qcqs derived scheme X X can be recovered from its M G L \mathrm {MGL} -cohomology via a Conner–Floyd isomorphism\[ M G L ∗<#comment/> ∗<#comment/> ( X ) ⊗<#comment/> L Z [ β<#comment/> ±<#comment/> 1 ] ≃<#comment/> K ∗<#comment/> ∗<#comment/> ( X ) , \mathrm {MGL}^{**}(X)\otimes _{\mathrm {L}{}}\mathbb {Z}[\beta ^{\pm 1}]\simeq \mathrm {K}{}^{**}(X), \]where L \mathrm {L}{} is the Lazard ring and K p , q ( X ) = K 2 q −<#comment/> p ( X ) \mathrm {K}{}^{p,q}(X)=\mathrm {K}{}_{2q-p}(X) .
