Abstract:

The derivation of counterexamples to $L^1$ estimates can be reduced to a geometric decomposition procedure along rank-one lines in matrix space. We illustrate this concept in two concrete applications. Firstly, we recover a celebrated, and rather complex, counterexample by Ornstein, proving the failure of Korn's inequality, and of the corresponding geometrically nonlinear rigidity result, in $L^1$. Secondly, we construct a function $f:R^2\rightarrow R$ which is separately convex but whose gradient is not in BV_{loc}, in the sense that the mixed derivative $f_{12}$ is not a bounded measure.

Keywords: bounded variation, convex integration, Korn's inequality, separate convexity, rank-one convexity, laminates
