Uniformly rectifiable metric spaces: Lipschitz images, Bi-Lateral Weak Geometric Lemma and Corona Decompositions (2306.12933v1)

Abstract: In their 1991 and 1993 foundational monographs, David and Semmes characterized uniform rectifiability for subsets of Euclidean space in a multitude of geometric and analytic ways. The fundamental geometric conditions can be naturally stated in any metric space and it has long been a question of how these concepts are related in this general setting. In this paper we prove their equivalence. Namely, we show the equivalence of Big Pieces of Lipschitz Images, Bi-lateral Weak Geometric Lemma and Corona Decomposition in any Ahlfors regular metric space. Loosely speaking, this gives a quantitative equivalence between having Lipschitz charts and approximations by nicer spaces. En route, we also study Reifenberg parameterizations.
