Abstract: By employing the differential structure recently developed by N. Gigli, we first give a notion of functions of bounded variation (

B V

) in terms of suitable vector fields on a complete and separable metric measure space

(m a t h b b X, d, m u)

equipped with a non-negative Radon measure

m u

finite on bounded sets. Then, we extend the concept of divergence-measure vector fields

m a t h c a l {D M}^{p} (m a t h b b X)

for any

p i n [1, i n f t y]

and, by simply requiring in addition that the metric space is locally compact, we determine an appropriate class of domains for which it is possible to obtain a Gauss-Green formula in terms of the normal trace of a

m a t h c a l {D M}^{i} n f t y (m a t h b b X)

vector field. This differential machinery is also the natural framework to specialize our analysis for

m a t h s f R C D (K, i n f t y)

spaces, where we exploit the underlying geometry to determine the Leibniz rules for

m a t h c a l {D M}^{i} n f t y (m a t h b b X)

and ultimately to extend our discussion on the Gauss-Green formulas.
