Counterexamples to the $L^p$-Calderón--Zygmund Estimate on Open Manifolds

Abstract

Based on a construction due to B. Güneysu and S. Pigola (\textit{Adv. Math.} \textbf{281} (2015), pp.353--393), for each $p\in [1,\infty ]$ and $m\in {\mathbb{Z}}_{\ge 2}$, we exhibit an $m$-dimensional Riemannian open manifold $\mathcal{M}$ on which the $L^p$-Calderón--Zygmund estimate \begin{equation*} \|\nabla \nabla f\|^p_{L^p} \leq C_1 \|Δf\|_{L^p}^p + C_2 \| f\|_{L^p}^p \qquad \text{ for all } f \in C^\infty_c(\mathcal{M}) \end{equation*} is false for any $C_1,C_2$ depending on $m$ and $p$. Therefore, one must impose further geometric conditions on the manifold to ensure the validity of the Calderón--Zygmund estimate.
