Abstract

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