Abstract:

We provide a simplified proof of the following well-known theorem: {\it The projection to $R^{n+1}$ of a $n$-dimensional rectifiable Legendrian subset of $R^{n+1}\times S^n$ is $C^2$-rectifiable.} Such a result generalizes the following simple fact: {\it Let $M$ be a hypersurface whose Gauss map has graph of class $C^1$. Then $M$ is of class $C^2$.}

Keywords: Geometric measure theory, Legendrian sets
