A note on weighted Sobolev spaces, and regularity of commutators and layer potentials associated to the heat equation

Abstract

We give a simplified proof of recent regularity results of Lewis and Murray, namely, that certain commutators, and the boundary single layer potential for the heat equation in domains in <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="double-struck upper R squared"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{\mathbb {R}^2}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> with time dependent boundary, map <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Superscript p"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{L^p}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> into an appropriate homogeneous Sobolev space. The simplification is achieved by treating directly only the case <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="p equals 2"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">p = 2</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>, but in a weighted setting.
