The $\\beta_{\\mu,p}^n$ coefficients are the same as the ones considered by David and Semmes in the setting of the so called uniform $n$-rectifiability. An analogous necessary condition for $n$-rectifiability in terms of other coefficients involving some variant of the Wasserstein distance $W_1$ is also proved.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-07T17:38:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A75", "28A78", "42B20" ], "keywords": [ "square function", "rectifiability", "characterization", "finite radon measure", "infimum taken" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150101569T" } } }
