Have we discovered constructions for natural fractional dimensional spheres?

I have been thinking about a couple different problems in fractal geometry (including I one deleted because it was ill posed) and realize they all depend in a fundamental way on the problem of: Can we ...

A question about pushforward measures and continuous Borel isomorphisms

It is fairly well known that if $\mu$ and $\nu$ are nonatomic measures on the standard Borel spaces $(X,B)$ and $(Y,C)$ such that $\mu(X)=\nu(Y)$. If $X$ and $Y$ are uncountable, then there exists a ...

The behavior of an integral related to the inward normal vector near a point of the boundary of a domain

Inspired by this Q&A, I am asking for what kind of non-smooth domains $D$ the following limit $$ \lim_{r \to 0}\frac{1}{m(D \cap B(x,r))}\int\limits_{D \cap B(x,r)}\frac{z-x}{r}\,m(dz) $$ where $...

Theory of mollifiers on the boundary of a $C^2$ domain

Let $D\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ be a nice but not smooth domain, somewhere between Lipschitz and $C^2$. I am looking for a reference on the theory of mollifiers and regularization for functions on $\...

Box counting dimension of a set and Lipschitz functions

If $f$ is Lipschitz, then the following holds for the Hausdorff dimension: $$\dim_H f(A) \le \dim_H A.$$ Is the same true for the box counting dimension?

If the Hausforff dimension of the graph of a function $u$ is $N$ and $\tilde u = u$ a.e. then $\dim_H \mathrm{graph} \, \tilde u = N$ too

Let $\Omega$ be an open (non empty) set and $u:\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^M$ be a function such that the Hausdorff dimension of its graph is $N$. Let $\tilde u = u$ a.e. Is it true ...

Hausdorff dimension of the graph of a BV function

Let $u: \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^M$ be a $BV$ function. Is the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of $u$ equal to $N$? How can we prove it? Update. In an answer to this post, it ...

Rademacher theorem

If $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$ is of class $C^1$ and $\operatorname{rank} Df(x_o)=k$, then clearly $\operatorname{rank} Df\geq k$ in a neighborhood of $x_o$. It is not particularly difficult to ...

Reference request: Functions of bounded variation in one real variable

Is there a good reference for facts and theorems about BV real valued functions? I’m looking for something with much more than say Stein and Shakarchi 3, or Evans and Gariepy. Thanks!

Anisotropic perimeter and regularity of anisotropic minimal surfaces

1. Introduction. By-now classical results assert that minimal surfaces (in $\mathbb R^n$) are generically "smooth" out of a "small" set. Question. What are the known regularity results for ...

Difference quotient for functions of bounded variation

Let $u:\mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N$, $u \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N)$, be a function of bounded variation. We have that the following holds $$(\ast) \qquad \frac{1}{|B_r(0)|}\int_{B_r(0)} \frac{|u(x+z)-...

Banach algebra of BV functions

I would like to find a reference for the proof that functions of bounded variation make a Banach algebra. Same question for $BV\cap L^\infty$.

A dual theory to the theory of currents?

The k-currents are defined as dual space to the spaces of all smooth k-forms. (These monsters are used to work with the minimal k-surfaces.) Assume I want to look at the generalized k-forms; they can ...
