Abstract

We prove that if uu is an RN\mathbb{R}^{N}-valued Wloc1,pW^{1,p}_{loc} differential kk-form with δ(a(x)dup2du)Lloc(n,1)\delta \left( a(x) \lvert du \rvert^{p-2} du \right) \in L^{(n,1)}_{loc} in a domain of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} for N1,N \geq 1, n2,n \geq 2, 0kn1,0 \leq k \leq n-1, 1<p<,1 < p < \infty, with uniformly positive, bounded, Dini continuous scalar function aa, then dudu is continuous. This generalizes the classical result by Stein in the scalar case and the work of Kuusi-Mingione for the pp-Laplacian type systems. We also discuss H\"{o}lder, BMO and VMO regularity estimates for such systems when p2.p \geq 2.
