Hardy-Hodge Decomposition of Vector Fields in $Rn$

Abstract

We prove that a $IRn+1$-valued vector field on IR n is the sum of the traces of two harmonic gradients, one in each component of $IRn+1IRn$ , and of a $IRn$-valued divergence free vector field. We apply this to the description of vanishing potentials in divergence form. The results are stated in terms of Clifford Hardy spaces, the structure of which is important for our study.
