Carnot tangent characterization of biLipschitz rectifiability
Carnot tangent characterization of biLipschitz rectifiability
Let be a complete metric space, let be a Carnot group of homogeneous dimension , and let be a Borel subset such that . Write for the lower -density of at , and call a metric space biLipschitz -rectifiable if it is covered, up to a set of zero -dimensional Hausdorff measure, by countably many subsets biLipschitz equivalent to subsets of . A pointed measured Gromov--Hausdorff tangent (pmGH tangent) is a pointed measured Gromov--Hausdorff limit obtained by rescaling at a point.
Carnot tangent characterization. The following are equivalent:
- for -almost every , and, for -almost every , there exists a constant such that all the pmGH tangents of at are supported on metric spaces that are -biLipschitz equivalent to .
- is biLipschitz -rectifiable.
This conjecture seeks a characterization of biLipschitz rectifiability in terms of metric-measure tangents modeled on a non-Abelian Carnot group. Its resolution would connect the authors' differentiability-space framework with geometric measure theory; the supplied text does not state whether it is known or open.
