Radon measures and Lipschitz graphs

Abstract

For all $1\le m\le n-1$, we investigate the interaction of locally finite measures in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with the family of $m$-dimensional Lipschitz graphs. For instance, we characterize Radon measures $\mu$, which are carried by Lipschitz graphs in the sense that there exist graphs ${\Gamma }_1,{\Gamma }_2,\dots$ such that $\mu ({\mathbb{R}}^n\setminus {\bigcup }_1^{\infty }{\Gamma }_i)=0$, using only countably many evaluations of the measure. This problem in geometric measure theory was classically studied within smaller classes of measures, e.g.~for the restrictions of $m$-dimensional Hausdorff measure ${\mathcal{H}}^m$ to $E\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^n$ with $0<{\mathcal{H}}^m(E)<\infty$. However, an example of Csörnyei, Käenmäki, Rajala, and Suomala shows that classical methods are insufficient to detect when a general measure charges a Lipschitz graph. To develop a characterization of Lipschitz graph rectifiability for arbitrary Radon measures, we look at the behavior of coarse doubling ratios of the measure on dyadic cubes that intersect conical annuli. This extends a characterization of graph rectifiability for pointwise doubling measures by Naples by mimicking the approach used in the characterization of Radon measures carried by rectifiable curves by Badger and Schul.
