Abstract: Mondino and Naber recently proved that finite dimensional sfRCD spaces are rectifiable. Here we show that the push-forward of the reference measure under the charts built by them is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This result, read in conjunction with another recent work of us, has relevant implications on the structure of tangent spaces to sfRCD spaces. A key tool that we use is a recent paper by De Philippis-Rindler about the structure of measures on the Euclidean space.


The structure of charts in finite-dimensional spaces with Ricci curvature bounded from below (RCD spaces) is investigated. By a result of Mondino-Naber it holds that: Given \((X,d,\mathfrak{m})\) an \(\text{RCD}^*(K,N)\) space and \(\epsilon > 0\), then \(\mathfrak{m}\)-a.e., \(X\) can be partitioned into a countable number of Borel subsets \((U_i)\), each \((1+\epsilon)\)-biLipschitz to some subset of \(\mathbb{R}^{n_i}\), where \(n_i \leq N\) for every \(i\). Informally the main result of the article is stated as follows: Let \((X,d,\mathfrak{m})\) be a \(\text{RCD}^*(K,N)\) space, \(\epsilon > 0\) sufficiently small and \((U_i, \varphi_i)\) the partition given by Mondino-Naber's theorem and the associated coordinate charts. Then \[ (\varphi_i)_*(\mathfrak{m}_{|U_i}) \ll \mathcal{L}^{n_i} \quad \forall i. \] This is equivalent to the fact that the restriction of \(\mathfrak{m}\) to \(U_i\) is absolutely continuous w.r.t. the \(n_i\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure. In the case of Ricci-limit spaces an analogous result was already known from the work of Cheeger-Colding, the technique used to prove the previous result is not applicable in this case however. Instead, a result by De Philippis-Rindler is used to obtain the result.
