Abstract

We establish that for every function uLloc1(Ω)u \in L^1_\mathrm{loc}(\Omega) whose distributional Laplacian Δu\Delta u is a signed Borel measure in an open set Ω\Omega in RN\mathbb{R}^{N}, the distributional gradient u\nabla u is differentiable almost everywhere in Ω\Omega with respect to the weak-LNN1L^{\frac{N}{N-1}} Marcinkiewicz norm. We show in addition that the absolutely continuous part of Δu\Delta u with respect to the Lebesgue measure equals zero almost everywhere on the level sets {u=α}\{u = \alpha\} and {u=e}\{\nabla u = e\}, for every αR\alpha \in \mathbb{R} and eRNe \in \mathbb{R}^N. Our proofs rely on an adaptation of Calder\'on and Zygmund's singular-integral estimates inspired by subsequent work by Hajlasz.
