On traces for H(curl,Ω) in Lipschitz domains

We study tangential vector fields on the boundary of a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω in R³. Our attention is focused on the definition of suitable Hilbert spaces corresponding to fractional Sobolev regularities and also on the construction of tangential differential operators on the non-smooth manifold. The theory is applied to the characterization of tangential traces for the space H(curl,Ω). Hodge decompositions are provided for the corresponding trace spaces, and an integration by parts formula is proved
