May 29, 2019 at 21:18 comment added Willie Wong Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev on $\mathbb{R}^4$ states that $\| u\|_{L^4} \leq C \|\partial u\|_{L^2}$ (among other things). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
May 29, 2019 at 17:59 comment added asv @WillieWong: I am not sure how you use Sobolev theorem and get rid of the term $\alpha$ without derivatives. Are you using also some version of Poincaré inequality in $\mathbb{R}^n$?
May 29, 2019 at 2:19 comment added Willie Wong Consider the corresponding quadratic form $\int |\nabla \alpha|^2 + A_\mu \partial_\mu \alpha \cdot \alpha$. In $\mathbb{R}^4$ by Sobolev $W^{1,2} \to L^4$ you can bound $\int A_\mu \partial_\mu \alpha \cdot \alpha$ by $C \|A_\mu\|_{L^4} \|\partial \alpha\|_{L^2}^2$. So provided that $\|A_\mu\|_{L^4} < C^{-1}$ you have that the quadratic form is positive semidefinite.
