Abstract
We study the pointwise regularity of energy densities associated with harmonic functions on the -dimensional Sierpinski gasket with respect to the Kusuoka measure. For any nonconstant harmonic function, we prove that every Borel representative of the density is discontinuous at every point of a set of full Kusuoka measure. In sharp contrast, on each one-dimensional edge of the gasket -- itself a set of zero Kusuoka measure -- the density admits a canonical pointwise version, which is -H\"older continuous on that edge with the explicit and optimal exponent .
