AbstractI prove that closed n-regular sets $$E \subset {\mathbb {R}}^{d}$$ E ⊂ R d with plenty of big projections have big pieces of Lipschitz graphs. In particular, these sets are uniformly n-rectifiable. This answers a question of David and Semmes from 1993.

In a recent article (2021) we introduced and studied conical energies. We used them to prove three results: a characterization of rectifiable measures, a characterization of sets with big pieces of Lipschitz graphs, and a sufficient condition for boundedness of nice singular integral operators. In this note we give two examples related to sharpness of these results. One of them is due to Joyce and Mörters (2000), the other is new and could be of independent interest as an example of a relatively ugly set containing big pieces of Lipschitz graphs.

The ‘square peg problem’ or ‘inscribed square problem’ of Toeplitz asks if every simple closed curve in the plane inscribes a (nondegenerate) square, in the sense that all four vertices of that square lie on the curve. By a variety of arguments of a ‘homological’ nature, it is known that the answer to this question is positive if the curve is sufficiently regular. The regularity hypotheses are needed to rule out the possibility of arbitrarily small squares that are inscribed or almost inscribed on the curve; because of this, these arguments do not appear to be robust enough to handle arbitrarily rough curves. In this paper, we augment the homological approach by introducing certain integrals associated to the curve. This approach is able to give positive answers to the square peg problem in some new cases, for instance if the curve is the union of two Lipschitz graphs $f$, $g:[t_{0},t_{1}]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that agree at the endpoints, and whose Lipschitz constants are strictly less than one. We also present some simpler variants of the square problem which seem particularly amenable to this integration approach, including a periodic version of the problem that is not subject to the problem of arbitrarily small squares (and remains open even for regular curves), as well as an almost purely combinatorial conjecture regarding the sign patterns of sums $y_{1}+y_{2}+y_{3}$ for $y_{1},y_{2},y_{3}$ ranging in finite sets of real numbers.

Given a class Γ of curves in [0, 1]2, we ask: in a cloud of n uniform random points, how many points can lie on some curve γ ∈ Γ? Classes studied here include curves of length less than or equal to L, Lipschitz graphs, monotone graphs, twice-differentiable curves, and graphs of smooth functions with m-bounded derivatives. We find, for example, that there are twice-differentiable curves containing as many as O P (n 1/3) uniform random points, but not essentially more than this. More generally, we consider point clouds in higher-dimensional cubes [0, 1] d and regular hypersurfaces of specified codimension, finding, for example, that twice-differentiable k-dimensional hypersurfaces in R d may contain as many as O P (n k/(2d-k)) uniform random points. We also consider other notions of ‘incidence’, such as curves passing through given location/direction pairs, and find, for example, that twice-differentiable curves in R 2 may pass through at most O P (n 1/4) uniform random location/direction pairs. Idealized applications in image processing and perceptual psychophysics are described and several open mathematical questions are identified for the attention of the probability community.

We consider the anisotropic mean curvature flow of entire Lipschitz graphs. We prove existence and uniqueness of expanding self-similar solutions which are asymptotic to a prescribed cone, and we characterize the long time behavior of solutions, after suitable rescaling, when the initial datum is a sublinear perturbation of a cone. In the case of regular anisotropies, we prove the stability of self-similar solutions asymptotic to strictly mean convex cones, with respect to perturbations vanishing at infinity. We also show the stability of hyperplanes, with a proof which is novel also for the isotropic mean curvature flow.

AbstractThis paper deals with the theory of rectifiability in arbitrary Carnot groups, and in particular with the study of the notion of $$\mathscr {P}$$ P -rectifiable measure. First, we show that in arbitrary Carnot groups the natural infinitesimal definition of rectifiabile measure, i.e., the definition given in terms of the existence of flat tangent measures, is equivalent to the global definition given in terms of coverings with intrinsically differentiable graphs, i.e., graphs with flat Hausdorff tangents. In general we do not have the latter equivalence if we ask the covering to be made of intrinsically Lipschitz graphs. Second, we show a geometric area formula for the centered Hausdorff measure restricted to intrinsically differentiable graphs in arbitrary Carnot groups. The latter formula extends and strengthens other area formulae obtained in the literature in the context of Carnot groups. As an application, our analysis allows us to prove the intrinsic $$C^1$$ C 1 -rectifiability of almost all the preimages of a large class of Lipschitz functions between Carnot groups. In particular, from the latter result, we obtain that any geodesic sphere in a Carnot group equipped with an arbitrary left-invariant homogeneous distance is intrinsic $$C^1$$ C 1 -rectifiable.
