Connected sets and Hausdorff measure #

In this file we relate connectedness of a subset s of an extended metric space to its Hausdorff measure.

The key geometric idea is that the distance from a fixed base point is Lipschitz, so it does not increase Hausdorff measures, and the image of a preconnected set under this map is an interval whose one-dimensional Hausdorff measure equals its length. Comparing the two turns distances inside s into lower bounds for μH[1] s.

Main results #

TODO #

Prove that a preconnected and complete subset with finite one-dimensional Hausdorff measure is path connected and locally path connected. In fact, any two points in such a set can be connected by an injective geodesic with constant speed whose length is bounded above by the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure of this set.

In a preconnected subset of an extended metric space, any two points are at finite distance.

theorem IsPreconnected.subset_boundedComponent {X : Type u_1} [EMetricSpace X] {s : Set X} {a : X} (hs : IsPreconnected s) (ha : a ∈ s) :

A preconnected set lies in the bounded component of any of its points.

For any a, b in a preconnected set s and any r ≤ edist a b, the radius r is at most the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the part of s lying in the open ball of radius r around a. This lemma is needed in the proof of IsPreconnected.totallyBounded_of_hausdorffMeasure_lt_top.
