The Cp'-regularity conjecture near p=2
Abstract
We prove the Cp'-regularity conjecture in every dimension when p>2 is sufficiently close to $2$. To this end, we establish improved Hölder estimates for the gradients of p-harmonic functions. These estimates also determine the first-order asymptotics of the optimal gradient Hölder exponent in every dimension. The proof combines compactness, harmonic rigidity of the limiting profiles, and a sharp uniform gap estimate for the first variation of the gradient excess.
