Abstract:
We will discuss the structure of divergence-free vector measures on the plane. It will be shown that such measures can be decomposed into a superposition of measures induced by closed simple curves. We will also provide a detailed characterization of the extremal points of the unit ball in the space of functions of bounded variation in $\mathbb R^2$.
