Abstract
We prove variants of Korn's inequality involving the trace-free part of the symmetric gradient of vector fields (), that is,
for functions with zero trace as well as some further variants of this inequality. Here, is an -function of rather general type. As an application we prove partial -regularity of minimizers of energies of the type occurring, for example, in general relativity.
