For smooth domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ it is known that one can decompose vector fields in $L^p(\Omega)^n$, $1 < p <\infty $ into a "gradient"- and a "divergence-free"-part such that
$L^p(\Omega)^n=G^p(\Omega) \oplus D^p(\Omega)$,
where $G^p(\Omega)= \{ w\in L^p(\Omega)^n; w= \nabla p$ for some $p\in W^{1,p}(\Omega)\}$, and $D^p(\Omega)$ is the completion of $\{ u\in \mathcal{C}^\infty_0(\Omega)^n; \nabla \cdot u=0 \}$ in $L^p$.
Is such a decomposition also available on a compact Riemannian manifold (with boundary) $M$ with respect to the gradient- and divergence-operator induced by the Riemannian metric? Does one additionally have a "annihilator"-property in the spirit of $D^p(\Omega)^\perp = G^q(\Omega)$ (with dual exponent $q$)?
