Abstract: We study the absolute continuity with respect to the Lebesgue measure of the distribution of the nodal volume associated with a smooth, non-degenerated and stationary Gaussian field $(f(x),xinmathbb{R}^d)$. Under mild conditions, we prove that in dimension $dgeq3$, the distribution of the nodal volume has an absolutely continuous component plus a possible singular part. This singular part is actually unavoidable baring in mind that some Gaussian processes have a positive probability to keep a constant sign on some compact domain. Our strategy mainly consists in proving closed Kac--Rice type formulas allowing one to express the volume of the set $f=0$ as integrals of explicit functionals of $(f,ablaf,extHess(f))$ and next to deduce that the random nodal volume belongs to the domain of a suitable Malliavin gradient. The celebrated Bouleau--Hirsch criterion then gives conditions ensuring the absolute continuity.
