Federer's characterization states that a set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of finite perimeter if and only if $\mathcal H^{n-1}(\partial^*E)<\infty$. Here the measure-theoretic boundary $\partial^*E$ consists of those points where both $E$ and…

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be a uniformly rectifiable set of dimension $n$. Then bounded harmonic functions in $\Omega:= \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus E$ satisfy Carleson measure estimates, and are "$\varepsilon$-approximable".…

Consider a bundle of circles passing through 0 in 4-dimensional space. It is said to be rectifiable if there is a germ of diffeomorphism at 0 that takes all circles from our bundle to straight lines. We will give a classification of all…

We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…

This paper is devoted to show that the flatness of tangents of $1$-codimensional measures in Carnot Groups implies $C^1_\mathbb{G}$-rectifiability. As applications we prove that measures with $(2n+1)$-density in the Heisenberg groups…

Suppose that $\Gamma_0\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ is a closed countably $n$-rectifiable set whose complement $\mathbb R^{n+1}\setminus \Gamma_0$ consists of more than one connected component. Assume that the $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of…

We investigate and quantify the distinction between rectifiable and purely unrectifiable 1-sets in the plane. That is, given that purely unrectifiable 1-sets always have null intersections with Lipschitz images, we ask whether these sets…

We develop the concept of integral Menger curvature for a large class of nonsmooth surfaces. We prove uniform Ahlfors regularity and a $C^{1,\lambda}$-a-priori bound for surfaces for which this functional is finite. In fact, it turns out…

We resolve a long-standing open problem posed by Federer concerning the rectifiability of the integral geometric measure with exponent p >1, thereby settling a question that has persisted since its formulation. While the main theorem is…

Let R be a connected noetherian commutative ring, and let G be a simply connected reductive group over R of isotropic rank ge 2. The elementary subgroup E(R) of G(R) is the subgroup generated by the R-points U_P^+(R) and U_P^-(R) of the…

In the setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure that supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we show that a set $E$ is of finite perimeter if and only if $\mathcal H(\partial^1 I_E)<\infty$, that is, if and only if the…

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 provide a sufficient geometric condition for $\mathbb{R}^n$ to be countably $(\mu,m)$ rectifiable of class $\mathscr{C}^{1,\alpha}$ (using the terminology of Federer), where $\mu$ is a Radon measure having positive lower density and…

We study self-similar ultrametric Cantor sets arising from stationary Bratteli diagrams. We prove that such a Cantor set C is bi-Lipschitz embeddable in R^(d+1), where d denotes the integer part of its Hausdorff dimension. We compute this…

For all $1\leq m\leq n-1$, we investigate the interaction of locally finite measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the family of $m$-dimensional Lipschitz graphs. For instance, we characterize Radon measures $\mu$, which are carried by Lipschitz…

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 2$, be an Ahlfors-David regular set of dimension $n$. We show that the weak-$A_\infty$ property of harmonic measure, for the open set $\Omega:= \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus E$, implies uniform…

The classical Painlev\'e theorem tells that sets of zero length are removable for bounded analytic functions, while (some) sets of positive length are not. For general $K$-quasiregular mappings in planar domains the corresponding critical…

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…

We prove that for all integers $2\leq m\leq d-1$, there exists doubling measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with full support that are $m$-rectifiable and purely $(m-1)$-unrectifiable in the sense of Federer (i.e. without assuming…

We study order-preserving C^1-circle diffeomorphisms driven by irrational rotations with a Diophantine rotation number. We show that there is a non-empty open set of one-parameter families of such diffeomorphisms where the ergodic measures…
