We combine Kirchheim's metric differentials with Cheeger charts in order to establish a non-embeddability principle for any collection $\mathcal C$ of Banach (or metric) spaces: if a metric measure space $X$ bi-Lipschitz embeds in some…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\geq2$, be an open set with Ahlfors-David regular boundary that satisfies the corkscrew condition. We consider a uniformly elliptic operator $L$ in divergence form associated with a matrix $A$ with…

For Borel subsets $\Theta\subset O(d)\times \mathbb{R}^d$ (the set of all rigid motions) and $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we define \begin{align*} \Theta(E):=\bigcup_{(g,z)\in \Theta}(gE+z). \end{align*} In this paper, we investigate the…

Tukia and Vaisala showed that every quasi-conformal map of $\R^n$ extends to a quasi-conformal self-map of $\R^{n+1}$. The restriction of the extended map to the upper half-space $\R^n \times \R^+$ is, in fact, bi-Lipschitz with respect to…

The perimeter of a measurable subset of $\mathbb R^N$ is the total variation of its characteristic function. We generalize this notion to a subset $E$ of a closed Riemannian manifold. We show that the perimeter of $E$ is the limit of the…

It is shown that if $\gamma: [a,b] \to S^2$ is $C^3$ with $\det(\gamma, \gamma', \gamma'') \neq 0$, and if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is a Borel set, then $\dim \pi_{\theta} (A) \geq \min\left\{ 2,\dim A, \frac{ \dim A}{2} + \frac{3}{4}…

Characterizing rectifiability of Radon measures in Euclidean space has led to fundamental contributions to geometric measure theory. Conditions involving existence of principal values of certain singular integrals…

In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We…

Let $M=G/H$ be a compact connected isotropy irreducible Riemannian homogeneous manifold, where $G$ is a compact Lie group (may be, disconnected) acting on $M$ by isometries. This class includes all compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric…

We characterize compact metric spaces whose locally flat Lipschitz functions separate points uniformly as exactly those that are purely 1-unrectifiable, resolving a problem of Weaver. We subsequently use this geometric characterization to…

In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…

We show that the set of Liouville numbers is either null or non-$\sigma$-finite with respect to every translation invariant Borel measure on $\RR$, in particular, with respect to every Hausdorff measure $\iH^g$ with gauge function $g$. This…

It has been recently understood that the harmonic measure on the boundary $E = \partial \Omega$ of a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^{n - 1}$ on $E$ if and only…

We prove that every finite Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ that is bounded from above by the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^s$ can be split in countable many parts $\mu\lfloor_{E_k}$ that are bounded from above by the Hausdorff…

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have…

In this paper we continue the study of the notion of $\mathscr{P}$-rectifiability in Carnot groups. We say that a Radon measure is $\mathscr{P}_h$-rectifiable, for $h\in\mathbb N$, if it has positive $h$-lower density and finite $h$-upper…

A linear deformation of a Meyer set $M$ in $\RR^d$ is the image of $M$ under a group homomorphism of the group $[M]$ generated by $M$ into $\RR^d$. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for such a deformation to be a Meyer set. In…

Let $M$ be a graph manifold such that each piece of its JSJ decomposition has the $\Bbb H^2 \times \Bbb R$ geometry. Assume that the pieces are glued by isometries. Then, there exists a complete Riemannian metric on $\Bbb R \times M$ which…

We investigate variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem for Cantor sets. We prove that under a mild Hausdorff or packing logarithmic dimension assumption, Cantor sets are not full measure universal, significantly improving the known…

In this paper we prove that the typical Lipschitz function has no directional derivative at any point of a Borel set $E$ if and only if $E$ is contained in a countable union of closed purely unrectifiable sets.
