Abstract

We prove up to the boundary BMO\mathrm{BMO} estimates for linear Maxwell-Hodge type systems for RN\mathbb{R}^{N}-valued differential kk-forms uu in nn dimensions \begin{align*} \left\lbrace \begin{aligned} d^\ast \left( A(x) du \right) &= f &&\text{ in } \Omega, d^\ast \left( B(x) u\right) &= g &&\text{ in } \Omega, \end{aligned} \right. \end{align*} with νu \nu\wedge u prescribed on Ω,\partial\Omega, where the coefficient tensors A,BA,B are only required to be bounded measurable and in a class of `small multipliers of BMO'. This class neither contains nor is contained in C0.C^{0}. Since the coefficients are allowed to be discontinuous, the usual Korn's freezing trick can not be applied. As an application, we show BMO estimates hold for the time-harmonic Maxwell system in dimension three for a class of discontinuous anisotropic permeability and permittivity tensors. The regularity assumption on the coefficient is essentially sharp.
