Regularity and Rivi\`ere's ${GL}(m)$-Gauge Construction for Elliptic Systems with Antisymmetric Potentials in Arbitrary Dimensions
Let $1 \leq q \le 2$ and denote by $2 \leq q'$ its corresponding conjugate exponent. We prove the continuity of solutions $u \in W^{1,(\frac{n}{n-1},q')}(B^n, \mathbb{R}^m)$ to the critical elliptic system $-\Delta u = \Omega \cdot \nabla u$ in dimension $n \ge 3$, where the potential $\Omega \in L^{(n,q)}(B^n, \mathfrak{so}(m) \otimes \wedge^1)$ is antisymmetric. First, we construct $P \in W^{1,(n,q)}(B^n, \mathrm{SO}(m))$ such that the PDE can be rewritten as $-\operatorname{div}(P^{-1}du) = \ast d\xi \cdot P^{-1}du$, which is nearly a Jacobian structure up to the rotation $P$. Second, we provide a Rivi\`ere's $\mathrm{GL}(m)$-Gauge in order to establish a"full"$(A,B)$-conservation law, i.e. $-\operatorname{div}(Adu)=d^\ast B \cdot du$. We show that the assumption on $\Omega \in L^{(n,q)} (B^n, \mathfrak{so}(m) \otimes \wedge^1) $ for $q\leq 2$ is optimal.
