Here are ideas.

What you need to show is that if u is a vector field on Omega, and you
decompose it using the Hodge decomposition as nabla p + v, where div v
= 0, then ||v||_p <= C ||u||. You work out what the operator is - on
R^n it would be some kind of composition of Riesz projections, but on
Omega it would be something different, but still you can probably
calculate that it satisfies the hypothesis of the Calderon-Zygmund
Theorem. (Incidently I have a feeling that the smoothness of the
boundary of Omega will play a role, as I recall seeing somewhere that
it isn't necessarily true for all p in (1,infty) if the boundary of
Omega only satisfies Lipschitz boundary conditions.)

 Quote: Aaron Bergman ha escrit: I've been working on doing some computations in Hochschild cohomology, and all the definitions I've seen of the Gerstenhaber bracket define it either hopelessly abstractly or in terms of the bar resolution. I have a different resolution I've been using to compute HH^*, and I was hoping to be able to compute the Gerstenhaber bracket (or HH^2 to a specific formal deformation of the algebra) without having to compute an explicit quasi-isomorphism to the bar resolution. Any ideas or references would be appreciated. I don't know if I understand the problem: do you mean you have a resolution that allows you the computation of the Gerstenhaber bracket and you want an explicit quasi-isomorphism with the bar resolution because your are not sure that your resolution actually computes Hochschild cohomology?

No. I have an explicit projective resolution that isn't the bar
resolution. I was hoping to be able to compute the Gerstenhaber bracket
from it, but judging from the other response, I guess that's not so
likely.

The parenthetical comment is somewhat unclear, so, to elaborate, I was
also hoping to describe the explicit deformation for a given element of
HH^2 using my resolution, but perhaps that is also hard.

Thanx,
Aaron

I haven't worked out the solution, but I have a feeling that the

If a vector f with components in L_p(R^N) is decomposed into its
gradient part nabla u and its solenoidal part v (i.e. the Hodge
decomposition), then for 1<p<infinity, ||f||_p is equivalent (i.e. the
ratio is bounded above and below by constants depending only upon p and
possibly N) to ||nabla u||_p + ||v||_p.

This follows basically because the decomposition is a singular integral
- indeed it can be made up from compositions of so called Riesz
tranforms. The result may in effect be found in
http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=1442167
but this is somewhat using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

My guess is that the result you are looking for is false if p=1 or
p=infinity.

I hope this helps.
