= Uhlenbeck small-energy Coulomb gauge
{c}
For a connection with compact structure group on a four-dimensional ball, sufficiently small $L^2$ curvature permits a gauge with $d^*a=0$, suitable boundary condition and $\|a\|_{W^{1,2}}\leq C\|F\|_2$ after rescaling. For anti-self-dual connections, local elliptic regularity also gives scale-invariant curvature derivative estimates on smaller balls. These are local analytic inputs, not the global bubbling compactness conclusion.
