Background for Varifold theory
The general prerequisites are almost the same as for currents, mainly a strong understanding of measure theory and a bit of geometrical intuition.
There is an aspect of multilinear algebra and some fu …

Is the $W^{1, \infty}$ limit of differentiable a.e. functions also differentiable a.e.?
If the $f_n$ are absolutely continuous, then $f'_n$ would also be the distributional derivative and $g=f'$ follows from the continuity of that. So if there is a counterexample it should probably invol …

Hausdorff dimension of the zero set of $\nabla f$
Checking this in perfect detail might be a bit technical, but the following looks like it could work for any dimension up to n:
For 1d: Take an S curve $\phi: [0,1] \to [0,1]$ such that $\phi(0) = 0$, …

Averaging the mass of a Sobolev function $f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ near $\partial\Omega$
In Evans & Gariepy's "Measure theory and fine properties of functions", Sec. 5.3., they construct the trace operator on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ for BV-functions (and thus by inclusion for …

Maximal Hausdorff dimension of the set on which derivatives do not agree
If by not agree you include that the derivative may not exist, you can get any dimension and measure that does not contradict the almost everywhere. Consider the worst case $d=1$:
Take the constructio …

Average of the sum of dirac measures
I assume that by maximal you mean with respect to inclusion. Then the answer is no. Consider the following counterexample on the real line:
Let $\mathcal{B}_\epsilon := \epsilon\mathbb{Z}$ and $\widet …

Regular Lagrangian flow for "square root example": $\frac{d}{dt} X(t,x) = \sqrt{X(t,x)}$
Your intuition is right. The key is in the paper you cite, in that they consider uniqueness in the class $L^1_{\text{loc}}$, which does not allow for concentrations. If you add to this, that the Lagra …

Fast algorithms for calculating the distance between measures on finite ultrametric spaces
This is a rather more fun problem than I thought. I must apologize though, as your question is a reference request and I have no references apart from pointing at any textbook on discrete optimization …

Growth and shrinking rate of measurable sets along the boundary
I think one of the classic counterexamples works here, to show that this is false: Let $\{q_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ dense in $[0,1]^n$, $\delta >0$ and construct $$E = \bigcup_{i\in\mathbb{N}} B_{\delta …

Tangent cone of null sets
One can use your infinite-density example, but replace the outer lines with very sparse dotted lines:
$$S = (\{0\} \times \mathbb{R}) \cup \bigcup_{i=1}^\infty \{i^{-1},-i^{-1}\} \times \left[\bigcup_ …

Interchange of integration and supremum
I don't think your left hand side is well defined for the class of $u$ you are considering, I can change each $u(.,t)$ to a large value on the zero-set $S_{|t|}$, which will result in the supremum pic …

Indecomposable integral currents
I think the following might be an example, though it will require a bit of work if you want to make it more precise:
Take an immersion of a sphere, which is injective except for one cap at each pole, …

Densities, pseudoforms, absolute differential forms and measures, differential forms, etc
I am not the greatest expert on the details of this stuff, but since nobody else tried so far, let me have an attempt:
Prelude: Measures
Since you mention measures, I start with that, though this is m …

Hausdorff dimension of the zero set of the gradient of an eikonal function
Building on Pietro Majer's answer to you previous question for a change, consider the following:
Let $g: [0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be the unique continuous function such that $g(0)=0$, $g'(x) = 1$ fo …

Is a locally invertible weak limit of injective maps injective almost everywhere?
Okay, let me try a writeup of the comment chain. For any reasonable subset $A\subset \Omega_2$ and $B := f^{-1}(A)$ you get
$$\int_A |f^{-1}(y)| dy = \int_B \det df dx \leq \liminf_{n\to\infty} \int_B …
