Subsets of rectifiable curves in Hilbert space-the analyst's TSP (Q926387)

The author studies sets of Hausdorff dimension one. Refining results of \textit{P. W. Jones} [Lect. Notes Math. 1384, 24--68 (1989; Zbl 0675.30029)] and \textit{K. Okikiolu} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 46, No. 2, 336--348 (1992; Zbl 0758.57020)], he proves a quantitative version of the statement: a connected set of finite Hausdorff dimension (or a subset of one), is characterized by the fact that inside balls at most scales around most points of the set, the set lies close to a line segment depending on the ball. The results of the paper imply that, with a correct reformulation of the theorems, the estimates in the work of Jones and Okikiolu are independent of the ambient dimension.
