Higher degree layer potentials for non-smooth domains with arbitrary topology

We consider layer potentials associated with the Hodge-Laplacian acting on differential forms of arbitrary degree defined on Lipschitz subdomains of a Riemannian manifold. The main emphasis is on the interplay between the mapping properties of such layer potentials and the topology of the underlying domain.Partially supported by a UMC Research Board GrantPartially supported by NSF grant DMS-9870018
