At , bounded Hessians have no uniform modulus of continuity, so the Arzela-Ascoli theorem does not supply the compact limit used in the contradiction. At , the blow-up has cubic growth, and the Liouville theorem no longer forces its Hessian to be constant: nonzero harmonic cubic polynomials are possible. These are the two endpoint failures behind the restriction ; ordinary Schauder theory replaces neither endpoint by a general estimate of the displayed form.
