Coarea inequality, Eilenberg inequality
The general statement of the coarea inequality known also as the Eilenberg inequality is:
Theorem. If $f:X\to Y$ is a Lipschitz map between metric spaces and $A\subset X$, $0\leq m\leq n$, then $$

Finding a unique and finite expected value for almost all measurable functions?
Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. If set $A\subseteq X$, let $H^{\alpha}$ be the $\alpha$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on $A$, where $\alpha\in[0,+\infty)$ and $\text{dim}_{\text{H}}(A)$ is the ...

Hausdorff dimension of R x X
In general, the Hausdorff dimension of a product is at least the sum of the dimensions of the two spaces. Does equality hold if one space is Euclidian?
So let $X$ be a metric space and let $\mathit{...

How can dimension depend on the point?
Let $M$ be a metric space.
For any subset $A\subset M$ let $\dim(A)$ denote its Hausdorff dimension.
For $x\in M$, define the dimension of $M$ at $x$ by $\dim(x)=\lim_{r\to0}\dim(B(x,r))$; this limit ...

Hausdorff dimension of the graph of an increasing function
Let $f$ be a continuous, strictly increasing function from $[0,1]$ to itself with $f(0)=0, f(1)=1$. Let $\Gamma_f$ denote its graph. What can be said about the Hausdorff dimension of $\Gamma_f$? In ...

Haar measure on the Grassmannian space
The grassmannian space $G(n,m)$ may be identified with the quotient space $O(n)/(O(m)\times O(n-m)$. As such, it is endowed with a natural invariant probability measure which I call "Haar measure on $...

Calculate Hausdorff measure with Frostman measures
Fix a metrix space $(X,d)$ and consider the Hausdorff (outer) measures $\mathcal{H}^s$ on $X$.
A Frostman measure on $X$ is a finite Borel measure $\mu$ such that there exists $C,t,r_0>0$ with $\...

Is the $L^\infty$ norm of the derivative the same under the Hausdorff and Lebesgue measure?
Note: Here $\mathcal H^k$ denotes the $k$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, and $\|f\|_{L^\infty (\mathcal H^k)}$ denotes the $L^\infty$ norm of a function $f$ with respect to $\mathcal H^k$.
Let $\Omega$...
