It was proven in previous year that on a smooth compact hypersurface
embedded in
, a -valued vector field of class decomposes as the sum
of a harmonic gradient from inside , a harmonic gradient from outside
, and a
tangent divergence-free field. This year we extended this result to
Lipschitz surfaces for , where
and depend on the Lipschitz constant of the surface. We also
proved that the decomposition is valid for when is
-smooth (i.e. is locally the graph of Lipschitz
function with derivatives in ). By projection onto the tangent space, this
gives a Hodge decomposition for 1-forms on a Lipschitz surface, which is apparently also new since existing results deal with smooth surfaces (but forms of any degree). This result was reported at the invited session on
Harmonic Analysis and Inverse Problems of the
Mathematical Congress of the Americas, an article is being written to report
on it.
