This is the weak C1C^1C1 cutoff construction associated with Lemma A.4 of Letwin (arXiv:2607.24164v1), and is used in the proof architecture surrounding Theorem 2.5.

Let u,V:Rn→Ru,V:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb Ru,V:Rn→R satisfy the stated C1C^1C1 regularity, Lipschitzness of uuu and ∇u\nabla u∇u, Lipschitzness of −u+V∘∇u-u+V\circ\nabla u−u+V∘∇u, the a.e. Monge–Ampère identity, and a.e. positive definiteness of ∇2u\nabla^2u∇2u. Assume uuu is convex and normalized by ∫e−u=1\int e^{-u}=1∫e−u=1.

Then there exist c,C∈Rc,C\in\mathbb Rc,C∈R with C≥0C\ge0C≥0 and u(x)−c≥1u(x)-c\ge1u(x)−c≥1 for every xxx such that, writing

χR(x)=smoothTransition⁡(2−u(x)−cR),\chi_R(x)=\operatorname{smoothTransition}\left(2-\frac{u(x)-c}{R}\right),χR​(x)=smoothTransition(2−Ru(x)−c​),

and

LχR=tr⁡((∇2u)−1∇2χR)−∇V(∇u)⋅∇χR,L\chi_R=\operatorname{tr}\bigl((\nabla^2u)^{-1}\nabla^2\chi_R\bigr)-\nabla V(\nabla u)\cdot\nabla\chi_R,LχR​=tr((∇2u)−1∇2χR​)−∇V(∇u)⋅∇χR​,

for every R≥1R\ge1R≥1, χR\chi_RχR​ is C1C^1C1, compactly supported, has a Lipschitz gradient, and satisfies 0≤χR≤10\le\chi_R\le10≤χR​≤1. For each xxx, R↦χR(x)R\mapsto\chi_R(x)R↦χR​(x) is monotone on [1,∞)[1,\infty)[1,∞) and tends to 111. Moreover, LχRL\chi_RLχR​ is integrable with respect to the tilted measure e−udxe^{-u}dxe−udx, and

∫∣LχR∣ d(e−udx)≤CR.\int |L\chi_R|\,d(e^{-u}dx)\le\frac{C}{R}.∫∣LχR​∣d(e−udx)≤RC​.

The same integral tends to 000 as R→∞R\to\inftyR→∞. This is an existence statement for a cutoff family, not an estimate for arbitrary cutoffs.
