Higher order pointwise differential for distribution

Abstract

The notion of pointwise differentials for distributions is a way to extract local information of distributions by rescaling the distribution at a point. In this paper, we study the pointwise differentials for distributions corresponding to a negative order Sobolev functions. Our main results prove Borel regularity, Lusin approximation, rectifiability, and a Rademacher theorem for these pointwise differentials.
