Description

  • The first part of the course concerns fundamental tools in geometric measure theory such as Hausdorff measures and dimension, covering theorems, and density theorems.

  • The second part focuses on specific topics in geometric measure theory, for instance rectifiable and purely unrectifiable sets, projection theorems, theory of currents, or Fourier-analytic methods in geometric measure theory.

Learning outcomes

After the course the students know techniques to investigate geometric properties of general Borel sets and measures, and they are familiar with the notion and some properties of rectifiable sets in Euclidean spaces. The students will be provided with the necessary background to study advanced topics in modern geometric measure theory.
