Characterizations of $k$-rectifiability in homogenous groups

Abstract

A well known notion of $k$-rectifiable set can be formulated in any metric space using Lipschitz images of subsets of ${\mathbb{R}}^k$. We prove some characterizations of $k$-rectifiability, when the metric space is an arbitrary homogeneous group. In particular, we show that the a.e. existence of the $(k,\mathbb{G})$-approximate tangent group implies $k$-rectifiability.
