Abstract

We prove a Weitzenböck identity for general pairs of constant coefficient homogeneous first order partial differential operators, and deduce from it sufficient algebraic conditions for coerciveness and Morrey estimates under the natural 1/2 boundary conditions. Our proof of the $W^{1,2}$ elliptic estimate relies on the Aronszajn-Necas-Smith coercive estimate. For generalized strongly pseudoconvex domains, we improve the Morrey estimate to a weighted $W^{1,2}$ square function estimate, using a generalized Cauchy-Pompieu reproducing formula and the T1 theorem for singular integrals. We use Van Schaftingen's notion of cocanceling to study the generalized Levi forms appearing.
