TITLE: Lipschitz-free spaces of $\mathbb R^n$
QUESTION [10 upvotes]: We define
$$
\text{Lip}_0(\mathbb R^n)=\{f:\mathbb R^n\rightarrow \mathbb R, \text{such that $f(0)=0$ and }
\sup_{x\not=y}\frac{\vert f(x)-f(y)\vert}{\vert x-y\vert}<+\infty.
\}
$$
It is well-known that $\text{Lip}_0(\mathbb R^n)$ is a Banach space, which is the dual space of the so-called $\mathcal F(\mathbb R^n)$,
a.k.a. the Lipschitz-free space of $\mathbb R^n$.
Claim: $\text{Lip}_0(\mathbb R^n)$ is the dual space of $X/N$ where  $X$ is the space of 
$L^{1}({\mathbb R}^{n})$ vector fields  and  $N$ is the subspace of vector fields with null divergence. In other words, with 
$$
X=(L^{1}({\mathbb R}^{n}))^{n},\quad N=\{(f_{j})_{1\le j\le n}\in X, \ \sum_{1\le j\le n}\frac{\partial  f_{j}}{\partial x_{j}}=0\}, 
$$
we have 
$
\text{Lip}_0(\mathbb R^n)=(X/N)^{*}.
$
Note that in the easy case $n=1$, we find the familiar $\mathcal F(\mathbb R)=L^1(\mathbb R)$. The derivatives above are taken in the distribution sense.
Questions. 
(1) Is the statement of this claim well-known?
(2) Could it be useful to describe more explicitly the properties of $\mathcal F(\mathbb R^n)$ when $n\ge 2$?

REPLY [6 votes]: Yes, this is essentially contained in the paper

M. Cúth, O. F. K. Kalenda, P. Kaplický: Isometric representation of Lipschitz-free spaces over convex domains in finite-dimensional spaces, Mathematika, 63 (2) (2017), 538–552.

where it is proved that for any non-void, open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^n$, the space ${\rm Lip}_0(\Omega)$ is isometric to the dual of the quotient of $L_1(\Omega, \mathbb R^n)$ by the vector fields with zero divergence in the distributional sense.
