On some inequalities of Bourgain, Brezis, Maz'ya, and Shaposhnikova related to L1 vector fields
[Sur certaines inégalités de Bourgain, Brezis, Maz'ya et Shaposhnikova concernant les champs de vecteurs dans L1]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 348 (2010) no. 9-10, pp. 513-515.

Bourgain and Brezis ont montré que, si fLn(Tn) est de moyenne nulle, alors (1) divY=f a une solution YW1,nC0. Maz'ya a prouvé que si, de plus, on a fHn/21(Tn), alors il existe une solution de (1) dans Hn/2L. Les deux preuves sont distinctes. Dans cette note, nous présentons une propriété élémentaire des solutions fondamentales de l'opérateur biharmonique en dimension deux. Cette propriété unifie, en dimension deux, les approches de Bourgain–Brezis et Maz'ya, et implique une autre estimation de Maz'ya et Shaposhnikova (apparemment non liée aux précédentes). Nous discutons des variantes de ces résultats en dimension supérieure.

Bourgain and Brezis established, for maps fLn(Tn) with zero average, the existence of a solution YW1,nL of (1) divY=f. Maz'ya proved that if, in addition, fHn/21(Tn), then (1) can be solved in Hn/2L. Their arguments are quite different. We present an elementary property of fundamental solutions of the biharmonic operator in two dimensions. This property unifies, in two dimensions, the two approaches, and implies another (apparently unrelated) estimate of Maz'ya and Shaposhnikova. We discuss higher dimensional analogs of the above results.
