Singular Sets and Doubling Properties in Parabolic Homogenization
Abstract
We study the singular sets of real-valued solutions to periodic parabolic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients. Under a nondegeneracy condition on the corrector matrix, we obtain a local parabolic n-dimensional Hausdorff measure bound and a codimension-two Minkowski estimate. The Minkowski estimate holds at every scale, including scales below the oscillation scale ε, with a constant independent of ε. The bounds depend on a coarse-scale ratio of space-time L2 mass to terminal-slice L2 mass. Independently of corrector nondegeneracy, we prove that this ratio controls doubling at all smaller scales uniformly in ε. The singular-set argument combines summable errors in truncated Gaussian approximations, comparison of caloric polynomials at different time centers, and a stopping cover with microscopic singular-set estimates.
