Huber Theorem revisited in dimensions 2 and 4

Differential Geometry 2025-12-16 v3

Abstract

We study the second Huber theorem in dimensions 2 and 4. In dimension 2, we prove a new version assuming that the Gauss curvature lies in a negative Sobolev space using Coulomb frames. In dimension 44, given a metric having a pointwise singularity with LpL^p-bounds on the Bach tensor, we construct a conformal metric which is regular across the singularity. To do so, we introduce another Coulomb-type condition, similar to the case of Yang--Mills connections. This enables us to obtain a conformal metric satisfying an ε\varepsilon-regularity property. We obtain a generalization of the two-dimensional case that can be applied to study the singularities of Bach-flat metrics and immersions with second fundamental forms in W2,43+εW^{2,\frac{4}{3}+\varepsilon}.
