The CpC^{p'}-regularity conjecture for elliptic pp-Laplace equations

Let p(2,)p\in(2,\infty), let B1B_1 be the unit ball, and let Δpudiv(Dup2Du)\Delta_p u\coloneqq\operatorname{div}(|Du|^{p-2}Du). A function is locally of class C1,αC^{1,\alpha} if it has locally Hölder-continuous first derivatives with exponent α\alpha. CpC^{p'}-regularity conjecture. Every solution uu of

Δpu=fL(B1)-\Delta_p u=f\in L^{\infty}(B_1)

is locally of class C1,1p1=CpC^{1,\frac{1}{p-1}}=C^{p'}, where p=pp1p'=\frac{p}{p-1}. This is a well-known open problem concerning optimal regularity in the elliptic setting; the paper studies related optimal regularity for parabolic pp-Laplace equations.
