Abstract

In this paper, we prove a $H^1$-coercive estimate for differential forms of arbitrary degrees in semi-convex domains of the Euclidean space. The key result is an integral identity involving a boundary term in which the Weingarten matrix of the boundary intervenes, established for any Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subseteq \mathcal{R}^n$ whose outward unit normal $\nu$ belongs to $L^{n-1}_1(\partial\Omega)$, the $L^{n-1}$-based Sobolev space of order one on $\partial\Omega$.
