Quantitative Reifenberg theorem for measures

Abstract

We study generalizations of Reifenberg's Theorem for measures in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ under assumptions on the Jones' ${\hat{I}}^2$-numbers, which appropriately measure how close the support is to being contained in a subspace. Our main results, which holds for general measures without density assumptions, give effective measure bounds on $\hat{I}¼$ away from a closed $k$-rectifiable set with bounded Hausdorff measure. We show examples to see the sharpness of our results. Under further density assumptions one can translate this into a global measure bound and $k$-rectifiable structure for $\hat{I}¼$. Applications include quantitative Reifenberg theorems on sets and discrete measures, as well as upper Ahlfor's regularity estimates on measures which satisfy ${\hat{I}}^2$-number estimates on all scales.
