Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be an arbitrary bounded domain of Rn\R^n. We study the right invertibility of the divergence on Ω\Omega in weighted Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces on Ω\Omega, and rely this invertibility to a geometric characterization of Ω\Omega and to weighted Poincar\'e inequalities on Ω\Omega. We recover, in particular, well-known results on the right invertibility of the divergence in Sobolev spaces when Ω\Omega is Lipschitz or, more generally, when Ω\Omega is a John domain, and focus on the case of ss-John domains.
