It is known that the Neumann--Poincaré operator for the Lamé system of linear elasticity is polynomially compact and, as a consequence, that its spectrum consists of three non-empty sequences of eigenvalues accumulating to certain numbers determined by Lamé parameters, if the boundary of the domain where the operator is defined is C^∞-smooth. We extend this result to less smooth boundaries, namely, C1, α-smooth boundaries for some α> 0. The results are obtained by proving certain identities for surface Riesz transforms, which are singular integral operators of nonconvolution type, defined by the matrix tensor on a given surface.
