Unions of Rectifiable Curves and the Dimension of Banach Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
To any metric space it is possible to associate the cardinal invariant corresponding to the least number of rectifiable curves in the space whose union is not meagre. It is shown that this invariant can vary with the metric space considered, even when restricted to the class of convex subspaces of separable Banach spaces. As a corollary it is obtained that it is consistent with set theory that that any set of reals of size א1 is meagre yet therer are א1 rectifiable curves in R whose union is not meagre. The consistency of this statement when the phrase “rectifiable curves” is replaced by “straight lines” remains open.

Differentiability of Lipschitz Maps from Metric Measure Spaces to Banach Spaces with the Radon Nikodym Property
In this paper we prove the differentiability of Lipschitz maps X → V , where X is a complete metric measure space satisfying a doubling condition and a Poincaré inequality, and V denotes a Banach space with the Radon Nikodym Property (RNP). The proof depends on a new characterization of the differentiable structure on such metric measure spaces, in terms of directional derivatives in the direct...
متن کاملA new class of ( H k , 1 ) - rectifiable subsets of metric spaces ∗
The main motivation of this paper arises from the study of Carnot–Carathéodory spaces, where the class of 1-rectifiable sets does not contain smooth non-horizontal curves; therefore a new definition of rectifiable sets including non-horizontal curves is needed. This is why we introduce in any metric space a new class of curves, called continuously metric differentiable of degree k, which are Hö...
متن کاملA note on the remainders of rectifiable spaces
In this paper, we mainly investigate how the generalized metrizability properties of the remainders affect the metrizability of rectifiable spaces, and how the character of the remainders affects the character and the size of a rectifiable space. Some results in [A. V. Arhangel'skii and J. Van Mill, On topological groups with a first-countable remainder, Topology Proc. 42 (2013...
متن کاملTangents and Rectifiability of Ahlfors Regular Lipschitz Differentiability Spaces
We study Lipschitz differentiability spaces, a class of metric measure spaces introduced by Cheeger in [8]. We show that if an Ahlfors regular Lipschitz differentiability space has charts of maximal dimension, then, at almost every point, all its tangents are uniformly rectifiable. In particular, at almost every point, such a space admits a tangent that is isometric to a finite-dimensional Bana...
متن کاملGirths and Flat Banach Spaces
J. J. Schâffer [3] introduced an interesting parameter for normed linear spaces. It is termed girth and is the infimum of the lengths of all centrally symmetric simple closed rectifiable curves which lie in the boundary of the unit ball. More precisely, let X be a Banach space with norm denoted by || -|| and with dim X^2. K curve in X will be a rectifiable geometric curve defined by Busemann [l...
