The purpose of this article is to prove a generalisation of the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem about a characterisation of rectifiable and unrectifiable sets in terms of their projections. For an $m$-unrectifiable set…

In this paper we establish a Besicovitch-Federer type projection theorem for general measures. Specifically, let $\mu$ be a finite Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $0 < m < n$ be an integer. We show that, under the sole assumption…

We characterise purely $n$-unrectifiable subsets $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ with finite Hausdorff $n$-measure by studying arbitrarily small perturbations of elements of the set of all bounded 1-Lipschitz functions $f\colon X \to…

The Besicovitch projection theorem states that if a subset $E$ of the plane has finite length in the sense of Hausdorff measure and is purely unrectifiable (so its intersection with any Lipschitz graph has zero length), then almost every…

We give the following characterization of rectifiable metric spaces. A metric space with positive lower Hausdorff density is rectifiable if and only if, for any subset $F$ and $f:F\to Y$, a Lipschitz map into a metric space with positive…

We show that whenever a separable subset $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ admits a $d$-dimensional weak tangent field, the set $S$ is close to being $d$-dimensional in the following sense. Whenever $\mu$ is a Borel finite measure on $X$…

The classical Besicovitch projection theorem states that if a planar set $E$ with finite length is purely unrectifiable, then almost all orthogonal projections of $E$ have zero length. We prove a quantitative version of this result: if…

We extend the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem to transversal families of mappings. As an application we show that on a certain class of Riemann surfaces with constant negative curvature and with boundary, there exist natural…

By using a multiscale analysis, we establish quantitative versions of the Besicovitch projection theorem (almost every projection of a purely unrectifiable set in the plane of finite length has measure zero) and a standard companion result,…

In a previous work we proved that if a finite Borel measure $\mu$ in a Euclidean space has Hausdorff dimension smaller than a positive integer $k$, then the orthogonal projection onto almost every $k$-dimensional linear subspace is…

We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…

We consider the following classical conjecture of Besicovitch: a $1$-dimensional Borel set in the plane with finite Hausdorff $1$-dimensional measure $\mathcal{H}^1$ which has lower density strictly larger than $\frac{1}{2}$ almost…

The Reifenberg theorem \cite{reif_orig} tells us that if a set $S\subseteq B_2\subseteq \mathbb R^n$ is uniformly close on all points and scales to a $k$-dimensional subspace, then $S$ is H\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-dimensional Euclidean…

We construct a purely unrectifiable set of finite $\mathcal H^1$-measure in every infinite dimensional separable Banach space $X$ whose image under every $0\neq x^*\in X^*$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This demonstrates completely the…

We study parametrized families of orthogonal projections for which the dimension of the parameter space is strictly less than that of the Grassmann manifold. We answer the natural question of how much the Hausdorff dimension may decrease by…

The decay rate of Riesz capacity as the exponent increases to the dimension of the set is shown to yield Hausdorff measure. The result applies to strongly rectifiable sets, and so in particular to submanifolds of Euclidean space. For…

Federer's characterization of sets of finite perimeter states (in Euclidean spaces) that a set is of finite perimeter if and only if the measure-theoretic boundary of the set has finite Hausdorff measure of codimension one. In complete…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of sets of very well approximable vectors on rational quadrics. We use ubiquitous systems and the geometry of locally symmetric spaces. As a byproduct we obtain the Hausdorff dimension of the set of rays…

We show that the family of $m$-dimensional isotropic projections in $\R^{2n}$ is transversal. As an application we show that the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem holds for isotropic projections. We also use transversality to obtain…

A topological space $G$ is said to be a {\it rectifiable space} provided that there are a surjective homeomorphism $\phi :G\times G\rightarrow G\times G$ and an element $e\in G$ such that $\pi_{1}\circ \phi =\pi_{1}$ and for every $x\in G$…
