Differentiability of Lipschitz Functions in Lebesgue Null Sets

Abstract

We show that if n>1 then there exists a Lebesgue null set in R^n containing a point of differentiability of each Lipschitz function mapping from R^n to R^(n-1); in combination with the work of others, this completes the investigation of when the classical Rademacher theorem admits a converse. Avoidance of sigma-porous sets, arising as irregular points of Lipschitz functions, plays a key role in the proof.
