Abstract: We repurpose tools from the theory of quantitative rectifiability to study the qualitative rectifiability of measures in BbbRn, ngeq2. To each locally finite Borel measure mu, we associate a function widetildeJ2(mu,x) which uses a weighted sum to record how closely the mass of mu is concentrated on a line in the triples of dyadic cubes containing x. We show that widetildeJ2(mu,x)<infty mu-a.e. is a necessary condition for mu to give full mass to a countable family of rectifiable curves. This confirms a conjecture of Peter Jones from 2000. A novelty of this result is that no assumption is made on the upper Hausdorff density of the measure. Thus we are able to analyze generic 1-rectifiable measures that are mutually singular with the 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure.


A Borel measure \(\mu\) on \({\mathbb R}^n\) is called \(1\)-rectifiable if there exist countably many rectifiable curves \(\Gamma_i \subset {\mathbb R}^n\) such that \(\mu({\mathbb R}^n \setminus \bigcup_i \Gamma_i )=0\). The main result of the paper is the Theorem: If \(\mu\) is \(1\)-rectifiable, then the density-normalized \(L^2\) Jones function for this measure is finite at \(\mu\)-a.e. \(x\in{\mathbb R}^n\).
