Abstract:

We consider sets of locally finite perimeter in Carnot groups. We show that if $E$ is a set of locally finite perimeter in a Carnot group $G$ then, for almost every $x$ in $G$ with respect to the perimeter measure of $E$, some tangent of $E$ at $x$ is a vertical halfspace. This is a partial extension of a theorem of Franchi-Serapioni-Serra Cassano in step 2 Carnot groups: they proved that, for almost every $x$, $E$ has a unique tangent at $x$, and this tangent is a halfspace.

Keywords: Carnot groups, Sets of finite perimeter, Rectifiability
