<p>Let $M$ be a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold with Riemannian metric $g$. Let $E = S^2 T^* M$ be the vector bundle of symmetric covariant 2-tensors on $M$, and let $F = T^* M \oplus S^2 T^* M$. We consider the linear differential operator $L : \Gamma(E) \to \Gamma(F)$, where $\Gamma(B)$ denotes sections of a bundle $B$, defined by:
\begin{equation}
    L_1(k) = ({\text{div}} k, {\text{curl}} k)
\end{equation}
and also the related operator
\begin{equation}
    L_2(k) = ({\text{div}} k, \text{S}{\text{curl}} k). 
\end{equation}</p>]]></content><author><name>Christopher Stith</name><email>cstith@umich.edu</email></author><category term="note" /><category term="elliptic systems" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[]]></summary></entry><entry><title type="html">Test</title><link href="https://clstith.github.io/posts/2012/08/blog-post-1" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="Test" /><published>2012-08-14T00:00:00-07:00</published><updated>2012-08-14T00:00:00-07:00</updated><id>https://clstith.github.io/posts/2012/08/blog-post-1.md</id><content type="html" xml:base="https://clstith.github.io/posts/2012/08/blog-post-1"><![CDATA[<p>This is a sample post.</p>
