Crofton formula: expected intersections is to length as variance is to what?

There is this beautiful Crofton formula for the length $L(C)$ of a curve $C$ on the round unit 2-sphere: you take the expected number of intersections of $C$ with a random great circle and multiply by ...

Convergence in the proof of Crofton's Formula

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the set of oriented lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and let $\mu$ be the Kinematic Measure on $\mathcal{L}$; up to scaling, $\mu$ comes from the unique (up to scaling) volume form on $\...

boundary density of the Von Koch flake

Given a measurable set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ we consider the occupation ratio $$f_r(x)=vol(K\cap B(x,r))/r^d$$ and especially the asymptotics when $r\to 0$. When $K$ has a fractal boundary and $x$ ...

What are sufficient conditions on $f, g : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ such that `$\{x : f(x) \geq t \} \cup \{ x : g(x) \geq u\}$` has piecewise-smooth boundary?

What are sufficient conditions on $f, g : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\{x : f(x) \geq t \} \cup \{ x : g(x) \geq u\}$ has piecewise-smooth boundary? Some remarks: I don't mind if the ...
