Tangents, rectifiability, and corkscrew domains

In a recent paper, Csörnyei and Wilson prove that curves in Euclidean space of σ-finite length have tangents on a set of positive H 1-measure. They also show that a higher dimensional analogue of this result is not possible without some additional assumptions. In this note, we show that if Σ ⊆ Rd+1...

Sumario:In a recent paper, Csörnyei and Wilson prove that curves in Euclidean space of σ-finite length have tangents on a set of positive H 1-measure. They also show that a higher dimensional analogue of this result is not possible without some additional assumptions. In this note, we show that if Σ ⊆ Rd+1 has the property that each ball centered on Σ contains two large balls in different components of Σc and Σ has σ-finite H d-measure, then it has d-dimensional tangent points in a set of positive H d-measure. As an application, we show that if the dimension of harmonic measure for an NTA domain in Rd+1 is less than d, then the boundary domain does not have σ-finite H d-measure. We also give shorter proofs that Semmes surfaces are uniformly rectifiable and, if Ω ⊆ Rd+1 is an exterior corkscrew domain whose boundary has locally finite H d-measure, one can find a Lipschitz subdomain intersecting a large portion of the boundary.
