The boundary behavior of self-conjugate differential forms in \(C^1\)-domains (Q2421362)

Non-homogeneous differential forms $U=\sum_{k=0}^n u_k$ ($u_k$ being a $k$-form), i.e., such that $dU=\delta U$ where $d$ and $\delta$ denote the differential and the codifferential operator, respectively, are considered. Trace theorems for self-conjugate forms for which a Cauchy-type formula holds are proved. A generalization of the classical Plemelj jump formulas is stated and proved. The problem of finding a sectionally self-conjugate form with a given jump along the boundary is solved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of self-conjugate forms with given boundary values are obtained. Boundary inequalities for self-conjugate forms extending the classical M. Riesz theorem for conjugate harmonic functions are derived.
