Abstract

Recently, M. Badger and R. Schul proved that for a 11-rectifiable Radon measure μ\mu, the density weighted Jones' square function J1(x)=QD(Q)1β2,μ2(3Q)(Q)μ(Q)1Q(x) J_{1}(x) = \mathop{\sum_{Q \in \mathcal{D}}}_{\ell(Q) \leq 1} \beta_{2,\mu}^{2}(3Q)\frac{\ell(Q)}{\mu(Q)} 1_{Q}(x) is finite for μ\mu-a.e. xx. Answering a question of Badger-Schul, we show that the converse is not true. Given ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, we construct a Radon probability measure on [0,1]2R2[0,1]^{2} \subset \mathbb{R}^{2} with the properties that J1(x)ϵJ_{1}(x) \leq \epsilon for all xsptμx \in \operatorname{spt} \mu, but nevertheless the 11-dimensional lower density of μ\mu vanishes almost everywhere. In particular, μ\mu is purely 11-unrectifiable.
