Energy estimates for level sets of holomorphic functions and universal counterexamples to Calder\'on-Zygmund theory

Abstract

We demonstrate that the failure of $L^1$ regularity in Calder\'on-Zygmund theory is a universal phenomenon: every non-constant holomorphic function in $\C^n$ generates a counterexample to the Poisson equation. In order to achieve this goal, we shall establish sharp level-set estimates that link harmonic analysis to the geometry of complex structure through Hironaka's resolution of singularities and the \L{}ojasiewicz gradient inequality.
