Abstract

We study metric measure spaces that have quantitative topological control, as well as a weak form of differentiable structure. In particular, let XX be a pointwise doubling metric measure space. Let UU be a Borel subset on which the blowups of XX are topological planes. We show that UU can admit at most 22 independent Alberti representations. Furthermore, if UU admits 22 Alberti representations, then the restriction of the measure to UU is 22-rectifiable. This is a partial answer to the case n=2n=2 of a question of the second author and Schioppa.
