Sufficient conditions for $C^{1,\alpha }$ parametrization and rectifiability

Abstract

We say a measure is $C^{1,\alpha }$ $d$-rectifiable if there is a countable union of $C^{1,\alpha }$ $d$-surfaces whose complement has measure zero. We provide sufficient conditions for a Radon measure in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ to be $C^{1,\alpha }$ $d$-rectifiable, with $\alpha \in (0,1]$. The conditions involve a Bishop-Jones type square function and all statements are quantitative in that the $C^{1,\alpha }$ constants depend on such a function. Along the way we also give sufficient conditions for $C^{1,\alpha }$ parametrizations for Reifenberg flat sets in terms of the same square function. Key tools for the proof come from David and Toro's Reifenberg parametrizations of sets with holes in the Hölder and Lipschitz categories.
