Abstract

We extend the definition of involutivity to non-Lipschitz tangent subbundles using generalized functions. We prove the Frobenius Theorem with sharp regularity estimate when the subbundle is log-Lipschitz: if V\mathcal V is a log-Lipschitz involutive subbundle of rank rr, then for any ε>0\varepsilon>0, locally there is a homeomorphism Φ(u,v)\Phi(u,v) such that Φ,Φu1,,ΦurC0,1ε\Phi,\frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial u^1},\dots,\frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial u^r}\in C^{0,1-\varepsilon}, and V\mathcal V is spanned by the continuous vector fields Φu1,,Φur\Phi_*\frac\partial{\partial u^1},\dots,\Phi_*\frac\partial{\partial u^r}.
