On critical $\mathrm{L}^p$-differentiability of $\mathrm{BD}$-maps

Abstract

We prove that functions of locally bounded deformation on $\mathbb{R}^n$ are $\mathrm{L}^{n/(n-1)}$-differentiable almost everywhere. More generally, we show that this critical $\mathrm{L}^p$-differentiability result holds for functions of locally bounded $\mathbb{A}$-variation, provided that the first order, homogeneous, linear differential operator $\mathbb{A}$ has finite dimensional null-space.
