Abstract: We study the Korn-Poincar'e inequality: |u|_{W^{1,2}(S^h)} < C_h |D(u)|_{L^2(S^h)}, in domains S^h that are shells of small thickness of order h, around an arbitrary smooth and closed hypersurface S in R^n. By D(u) we denote the symmetric part of the gradient abla u, and we assume the tangential boundary conditions: uvec n^h = 0 on partial S^h. We prove that C_h remains uniformly bounded as h tends to 0, for vector fields u in any family of cones (with angle <pi/2, uniform in h) around the orthogonal complement of extensions of Killing vector fields on S. We also show that this condition is optimal, as in turn every Killing field admits a family of extensions u^h, for which the ratio: |u^h|_{W^{1,2}(S^h)} / |D(u^h)|_{L^2(S^h)} blows up as h tends to 0, even if the domains S^h are not rotationally symmetric.
