C^1 Hypersurfaces of the Heisenberg Group are N-Rectifiable

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v3 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We show that C^1 hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg group are countably N-rectifiable. As a corollary, this shows that all C^1_H graphs over the xy-plane are countable N-rectifiable, showing the equivalence of this notion of rectifiability with that of Franchi, Serra Cassano and Serapioni for such surfaces.
