The planar Mumford–Shah regularity conjecture and local weak-L4 gradient bounds

Resolves the interior regularity conjecture for reduced absolute planar Mumford–Shah minimizers with bounded fidelity data. Locally, the closed discontinuity set is a C1,αC^{1,\alpha} arc, a regular crack tip, or three arcs meeting at 120∘120^\circ; only finitely many global connected components meet any compact interior region.
