This coefficient quantifies how symmetric the measure $\\mu$ is by comparing the center of mass at a given scale and location to the actual center of the ball. We show that if $\\mu$ is $n$-rectifiable, then $ \\int_0^\\infty |C^n_\\mu(x,t)|^2 \\frac{dt}{t} < \\infty \\, \\, \\mu\\mbox{-almost everywhere}. $ Together with a previous result of Mayboroda and Volberg, where they showed that the converse holds true, this gives a characterisation of $n$-rectifiability. To prove our main result, we also show that for an $n$-uniformly rectifiable measure, $|C_\\mu^n(x,t)|^2 dt/t d\\mu$ is a Carleson measure on $\\mathrm{spt}(\\mu) \\times (0,\\infty)$. We also show that, whenever a measure $\\mu$ is $1$-rectifiable in the plane, then the same Dini condition as above holds for more general kernels. Moreover, we give a characterisation of uniform 1-rectifiability in the plane in terms of a Carleson measure condition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-30T10:01:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A75", "28A12", "28A78" ], "keywords": [ "square function", "rectifiability", "carleson measure condition", "converse holds true", "coefficient quantifies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
