\( \Omega \)-symmetric measures and related singular integrals (Q2039491)

Summary: Let \(\mathbb{S} \subset \mathbb{C}\) be the circle in the plane, and let \(\Omega: \mathbb{S} \to \mathbb{S}\) be an odd bi-Lipschitz map with constant \(1+\delta_\Omega \), where \(\delta_\Omega\geq 0\) is small. Assume also that \(\Omega\) is twice continuously differentiable. Motivated by a question raised by Mattila and Preiss, we prove the following: If a Radon measure \(\mu\) has positive lower density and finite upper density almost everywhere, and the limit \[\lim_{\epsilon \downarrow 0} \int_{\mathbb{C} \setminus B(x,\epsilon)} \frac{\Omega((x-y)/|x-y|)}{|x-y|} \, d\mu(y)\] exists \(\mu \)-almost everywhere, then \(\mu\) is 1-rectifiable. To achieve this, we prove first that if an Ahlfors-David 1-regular measure \(\mu\) is symmetric with respect to \(\Omega \), that is, if \[\int_{B(x,r)}\vert x-y|\Omega \Bigl(\frac{x-y}{|x-y|}\Big) \, d\mu(y) = 0\quad \text{for all } x \in \text{spt}(\mu) \text{ and } r > 0,\] then \(\mu\) is flat, or, in other words, there exists a constant \(c > 0\) and a line \(L\) so that \(\mu= c\mathcal{H}^1|_L \).
