Characterizations of countably $n$-rectifiable Radon measures by higher-dimensional Menger curvatures

Max Goering

备注：: Technical issue in Theorem 3.12 fixed

英文摘要：

In the late `90s there was a flurry of activity relating $1$-rectifiable sets, boundedness of singular integral operators, the analytic capacity of a set, and the integral Menger curvature in the plane. In `99 Leger extended the results for Menger curvature to $1$-rectifiable sets in higher dimension, as well as to the codimension one case. A decade later, Lerman and Whitehouse, and later Meurer, found higher-dimensional geometrically motivated generalizations of Menger curvature that yield results about the uniform rectifiability of measures and the rectifiability of sets respectively. In this paper, we provide an extension of Meurer's work that yields a characterization of countably $n$-rectifiable measures in terms of $σ$-finiteness of the integral Menger curvature. We also prove that a finiteness condition on pointwise Menger curvature proves rectifiability of Radon measures. Finally, motivated by the partial converse of Meurer's work by Kolasinski we prove that under suitable density assumptions there is a comparability between pointwise-Menger curvature and the sum over scales of the centered $β$-numbers at a point.

Integral Menger Curvature and Rectifiability of $n$-dimensional Borel sets in Euclidean $N$-space

In this work we show that an $n$-dimensional Borel set in Euclidean $N$-space with finite integral Menger curvature is $n$-rectifiable, meaning that it can be covered by countably many images of Lipschitz continuous functions up to a null set in the sense of Hausdorff measure. This generalises Léger's rectifiability result for one-dimensional sets to arbitrary dimension and co-dimension. In addition, we characterise possible integrands and discuss examples known from the literature. Intermediate results of independent interest include upper bounds of different versions of P. Jones's $β$-number…

Wild examples of rectifiable sets

We study the geometry of sets based on the behavior of the Jones function, $J_{E}(x) = \int_{0}^{1} β_{E;2}^{1}(x,r)^{2} \frac{dr}{r}$. We construct two examples of countably $1$-rectifiable sets in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ with positive and finite $\mathcal{H}^1$-measure for which the Jones function is nowhere locally integrable. These examples satisfy different regularity properties: one is connected and one is Ahlfors regular. Both examples can be generalized to higher-dimension and co-dimension.

Characterization of rectifiable measures in terms of $α$-numbers

We characterize Radon measures $μ$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that are $d$-rectifiable in the sense that their supports are covered up to $μ$-measure zero by countably many $d$-dimensional Lipschitz graphs and $μ\ll \mathcal{H}^{d}$. The characterization is in terms of a Jones function involving the so-called $α$-numbers. This answers a question left open in a former work by Azzam, David, and Toro.

A characterization of $1$-rectifiable doubling measures with connected supports

Garnett, Killip, and Schul have exhibited a doubling measure $μ$ with support equal to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ which is $1$-rectifiable, meaning there are countably many curves $Γ_{i}$ of finite length for which $μ(\mathbb{R}^{d}\backslash \bigcup Γ_{i})=0$. In this note, we characterize when a doubling measure $μ$ with support equal to a connected metric space $X$ has a $1$-rectifiable subset of positive measure and show this set coincides up to a set of $μ$-measure zero with the set of $x\in X$ for which $\liminf_{r\rightarrow 0} μ(B_{X}(x,r))/r>0$.

Characterization of $n$-rectifiability in terms of Jones' square function: Part II

We show that a Radon measure $μ$ in $\mathbb R^d$ which is absolutely continuous with respect to the $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure $H^n$ is $n$-rectifiable if the so called Jones' square function is finite $μ$-almost everywhere. The converse of this result is proven in a companion paper by the second author, and hence these two results give a classification of all $n$-rectifiable measures which are absolutely continuous with respect to $H^{n}$. Further, in this paper we also investigate the relationship between the Jones' square function and the so called Menger curvature of a measure with…

Carnot rectifiability of sub-Riemannian manifolds with constant tangent

We show that if $M$ is a sub-Riemannian manifold and $N$ is a Carnot group such that the nilpotentization of $M$ at almost every point is isomorphic to $N$, then there are subsets of $N$ of positive measure that embed into $M$ by bilipschitz maps. Furthermore, $M$ is countably $N$--rectifiable, i.e., all of $M$ except for a null set can be covered by countably many such maps.

Singular integrals unsuitable for the curvature method whose $L^2$-boundedness still implies rectifiability

The well-known curvature method initiated in works of Melnikov and Verdera is now commonly used to relate the $L^2(μ)$-boundedness of certain singular integral operators to the geometric properties of the support of measure $μ$, e.g. rectifiability. It can be applied however only if Menger curvature-like permutations, directly associated with the kernel of the operator, are non-negative. We give an example of an operator in the plane whose corresponding permutations change sign but the $L^2(μ)$-boundedness of the operator still implies that the support of $μ$ is rectifiable. To the best of our…

Higher order rectifiability of measures via averaged discrete curvatures

We provide a sufficient geometric condition for $\mathbb{R}^n$ to be countably $(μ,m)$ rectifiable of class $\mathscr{C}^{1,α}$ (using the terminology of Federer), where $μ$ is a Radon measure having positive lower density and finite upper density $μ$ almost everywhere. Our condition involves integrals of certain many-point interaction functions (discrete curvatures) which measure flatness of simplices spanned by the parameters.

Radon measures and Lipschitz graphs

For all $1\leq m\leq n-1$, we investigate the interaction of locally finite measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the family of $m$-dimensional Lipschitz graphs. For instance, we characterize Radon measures $μ$, which are carried by Lipschitz graphs in the sense that there exist graphs $Γ_1,Γ_2,\dots$ such that $μ(\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\bigcup_1^\inftyΓ_i)=0$, using only countably many evaluations of the measure. This problem in geometric measure theory was classically studied within smaller classes of measures, e.g.~for the restrictions of $m$-dimensional Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^m$ to $E\subs…
