Abstract

This paper surveys different topics where the theory of quantitative rectifiability plays a central role. First, it reviews the characterization of rectifiability in terms of square functions involving β\beta type coefficients and the ε2\varepsilon^2 conjecture of Carleson. It also discusses the deep connections between rectifiability and the L2L^2 boundedness of Riesz transforms and their application to the Painlev\'e problem for Lipschitz harmonic functions. Finally, the paper explores recent major advances in connection with harmonic measure and the LpL^p solvability of the Dirichlet, regularity, and Neumann problems for the Laplace equation in rough domains, emphasizing the key role of quantitative rectifiability in these developments.
