contents Korn-Maxwell-Sobolev (KMS) inequalities represent a tool for estimating differential expressions and have gained particular importance in recent years, especially concerning elliptic operators. In my Master's thesis, together with Peter Lewintan (University of Duisburg-Essen), we extended this concept to also apply to operators of constant rank. This makes it possible to cover more complex structures such as the curl or divergence of vector fields. A key difference from the elliptic theory is that in the constant rank case, a correction term $Π_\mathbb{B}$ is necessary on the left-hand side of the inequality. Results were also obtained for the limiting case $p=1$, although additional assumptions are required here. This article provides an illustrative introduction to KMS inequalities and demonstrates their application in both the elliptic and constant rank cases.
