Abstract: We present proofs for the existence of distributional potentials $Fin{m}^{\prime }athcalD(Omega)$ for distributional vector fields $Gin{m}^{\prime }athcalD(Omega{)}^n$, i.e. $operatornamegradF=G$, where $Omega$ is an open subset of ${mathbbR}^n$. The hypothesis in these proofs is the compatibility condition $partia{l}_j{G}_k=partia{l}_k{G}_j$ for all $j,kin1,dots,n$, if $Omega$ is simply connected, and a stronger condition in the general case. A key ingredient of our treatment is the use of the Bogovskii formula, assigning vector fields $vinmathcalD(Omega{)}^n$ with $operatornamedivv=varphi$ to functions $varphiinmathcalD(Omega)$ with $intvarphi(x),mathrmdx=0$. The results are applied to properties of Hilbert spaces of functions occurring in the treatment of the Stokes operator and the Navier--Stokes equations.
