Local Hölder regularity conjecture for homogeneous fractional p-Laplace systems

Let n,NNn,N\in\mathbb{N} and let Ω\Omega be a bounded open set in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. For s(0,1)s\in(0,1) and p(1,)p\in(1,\infty), let uWlocs,p(Ω,RN)u\in W^{s,p}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^N) satisfy

RnRnu(x)u(y)p2(u(x)u(y))(φ(x)φ(y))xyn+spdxdy=0φCc(Ω,RN).\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^{p-2}(u(x)-u(y))(\varphi(x)-\varphi(y))}{|x-y|^{n+sp}}\,dx\,dy=0\qquad\forall\varphi\in C_c^\infty(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^N).

Local Hölder regularity conjecture. Then uu is locally Hölder continuous in Ω\Omega.

This is the regularity statement for homogeneous fractional pp-Laplace systems needed to remove the paper's restriction that spsp lie sufficiently close to nn. It is presented as an unknown result and is used as the missing ingredient in a blow-up argument for regularity of minimizing fractional harmonic maps.
