Questions tagged [geometric-measure-theory]

The study of the geometric structure of measures, as well as the study of geometry from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, geometric measure theory has applications in partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, Riemannian geomerty, sub-Riemannian geometry, as well as calculus of variations. Statements such as the isoperimetric inequality and the coarea formula, and subjects such as the Plateau problem belong under this tag.

Let $f:M\to\mathbb{R}^k$ be smooth, where $M$ is a closed manifold of dimension $n>k$. I am thinking about the continuity properties of the map $c\mapsto\mathcal{H}^{n-k}(f^{-1}(c))$. Clearly this ...

I was reading Francesco Maggi's Sets of Finite Perimeter and Geometric Variational Problems which states that the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^s$ is Borel regular for $s >0$. My question is, what ...

A set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is called $1$-rectifiable if there exists a (countable) family of Lipschitz mappings $f_i : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $$ H^1 \bigg(E \setminus \...

I have a question about Hausdorff outer measures (basically the title), $A \subset B \implies \mathcal{H}_\delta^p(A) \leq \mathcal{H}_\delta^p(B)$, but $\delta_1 < \delta_2 \implies \mathcal{H}^p_{...

$K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is any compact set. Does its $\epsilon$-neighborhood $K_{\epsilon} := \{x\in \mathbb{R}^n : \text{dist}(x,K) < \epsilon\}$ have Lipschitz boundary? (Do we have to require $\...

Moser's Worm Problem asks what is the minimum area of a region that can cover every plane curve of length $1$. I see, on Wikipedia, that there is a known lower bound for area of this region, if we ...
