In the present paper we construct some counterexamples which show that a similar characterization does not hold for the $\\beta_p$ coefficients with $p\\neq2$. This is in strong contrast with what happens in the case of uniform $n$-rectifiability. In the second part of this paper we provide an alternative argument for a recent result of Edelen, Naber and Valtorta about the $n$-rectifiability of measures with bounded lower $n$-dimensional density. Our alternative proof follows from a slight variant of the corona decomposition in one of the aforementioned works of Azzam and Tolsa and a suitable approximation argument.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-07T21:05:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A75", "28A80" ], "keywords": [ "rectifiability", "coefficients", "suitable approximation argument", "corona decomposition", "square function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
