Sobolev Differentiability Properties of Logarithmic Modulus of Real Analytic Functions

Let $f$ be the germ of a real analytic function at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n \geq 2$, and suppose the codimension of the zero set of $f$ at $\mathbf{0}$ is at least $2$. We show that $\log |f|$ is $W^{1,1}_{\operatorname{loc}}$ near $\mathbf{0}$. In particular, this implies the differential inequality $|\nabla f |\leq V |f|$ holds with $V \in L^1_{\operatorname{loc}}$.
