Abstract: In this paper a new div-curl result is established in an open set $Omega$ of $mathbb{R}^N$, $Ngeq2$, for the product of two sequences of vector-valued functions which are bounded respectively in $L^p(Omega{)}^N$ and $L^q(Omega{)}^N$, with $1/p+1/q=1+1/(N-1)$, and whose respectively divergence and curl are compact in suitable spaces. We also assume that the product converges weakly in $W^{-1,1}(Omega)$. The key ingredient of the proof is a compactness result for bounded sequences in $W^{1,q}(Omega)$, based on the imbedding of $W^{1,q}(S_{N-1})$ into $L^{p^{\prime }}(S_{N-1})$ ($S_{N-1}$ the unit sphere of $mathbb{R}^N$) through a suitable selection of annuli on which the gradients are not too high, in the spirit of De Giorgi and Manfredi. The div-curl result is applied to the homogenization of equi-coercive systems whose coefficients are equi-bounded in $L^{h}o(Omega)$ for some $hoextgreaterN-1over2$ if $Nextgreater2$, or in $L^1(Omega)$ if $N=2$. It also allows us to prove a weak continuity result for the Jacobian for bounded sequences in $W^{1,N-1}(Omega)$ satisfying an alternative assumption to the $L^{i}nfty$-strong estimate of Brezis and Nguyen. Two examples show the sharpness of the results.
