Abstract

Let (Σ,g)(\Sigma, g) be a closed Riemann surface, and let uu be a weak solution to equation Δgu=μ, - \Delta_g u = \mu, where μ\mu is a signed Radon measure. We aim to establish LpL^p estimates for the gradient of uu that are independent of the choice of the metric gg. This is particularly relevant when the complex structure approaches the boundary of the moduli space. To this end, we consider the metric g=e2ugg' = e^{2u} g as a metric of bounded integral curvature. This metric satisfies a so-called quadratic area bound condition, which allows us to derive gradient estimates for gg' in local conformal coordinates. From these estimates, we obtain the desired estimates for the gradient of uu.
