The next set of conditions that come into my mind have to do with curves inside the region, but these are already quite strong. For example if you assume that the region is a John-domain you already get an upper bound on the dimension. However, under any such condition I would prove the boundary to have zero measure via porosity (the holes being inside the region in this case)... | |

On the other hand I do not now how to use this information without stating very strong requirements. | |
| Jan 23, 2011 at 14:06 | comment | added | Tapio Rajala | The first condition that comes into my mind which implies Lebesgue measure zero is upper porosity. Suppose that there exists a constant $0 < c < 1$ so that for all $x \in \partial\Omega$ there are arbitrarily small radii $r$ so that $B(y,cr) \subset B(x,r)\setminus \partial\Omega$ for some $y\in \mathbb{R}^n$. Then $\mathcal{L}(\partial\Omega)=0$, where $\mathcal{L}$ is the Lebesgue measure. (This follows immediately by considering density points.) If one assumes that this holds for all small enough radii, one also gets an estimate on the dimension. | |
