Integrability of Products of Four Sobolev Classes on the Torus in Dimensions at Most Three
lemmaAnalysisPDElem:quartic-product-torus-2026aOn the torus of dimension at most three, the pointwise product of representatives of four members of the first Sobolev space is integrable, with integral bounded by the product of their Sobolev norms and independent of the representatives; in particular fourth powers are integrable, and the cube of one class pairs with another through the square-integrable inner product.
We work in the setting of The Flat Torus: Standing Notation, used here with a natural number satisfying and ; the cell , the measure space , the integral over , and the classes and spaces with the class map , for a real number with , are the ones fixed there. Let denote the seminorm of . A representative of a class is a member of with ; two representatives of one class agree almost everywhere by The Lebesgue Space of Power-Integrable Functions §equivalence. Weak partial derivatives of classes are those of The Weak Partial Derivative on the Torus, and , with its norm , is the Sobolev space fixed there; is the inner product of . For and a natural number , is the -th power of ; for a map defined on , the pointwise power is the map on whose value at is , and the pointwise product of finitely many maps on is formed valuewise. Write and . Then the following hold.
1. (Products of four Sobolev classes)¶ Let and, for each , let be a representative of . Then the pointwise product lies in ,
and the value of this integral is the same for every choice of representatives of .
2. (Fourth powers)¶ Let and let be a representative of . Then the pointwise fourth power lies in ,
and the value of this integral is the same for every representative of .
3. (The cube pairing)¶ Let , let be a representative of and let be a representative of . Then the pointwise cube lies in and the class is the same for every representative of . Moreover the pointwise product lies in and
