Surface measure in a Lipschitz boundary chart #
A Lipschitz boundary chart parametrizes the part of the frontier inside its cylinder by
y ↦ e.symm (normalGraphEmbedding φ y).
This file identifies the image of that parametrization and compares tangential Lebesgue measure with normalized Euclidean Hausdorff measure on the frontier. It also gives the weighted area formula in chart coordinates. These results are the measure-theoretic bridge from local Sobolev traces in graph coordinates to traces on the boundary itself.

The part of the frontier of a set lying in the preimage of a chart cylinder is measurable.
The tangential coordinate x ↦ (e x).snd read through a chart map is measurable.
The tangential parameters whose graph points lie in the cylinder of a boundary chart form an open, hence measurable, set.
The graph parametrization of a Lipschitz boundary chart is Lipschitz, with the same bound as the normal graph parametrization.
A Lipschitz chart parametrizes exactly the part of the frontier lying inside its cylinder.
In a Lipschitz boundary chart, normalized surface measure dominates tangential Lebesgue measure.
In a Lipschitz boundary chart, normalized surface measure is at most
(L + 1) ^ dim E times tangential Lebesgue measure.
Reading off the tangential coordinate pushes normalized surface measure on the frontier patch
of a Lipschitz chart forward to at most (L + 1) ^ dim E times tangential Lebesgue measure.
A set of tangential parameters is Lebesgue-null exactly when the corresponding part of the boundary chart is null for normalized surface measure.
The frontier patch in a Lipschitz boundary chart has zero normalized surface measure exactly when its set of tangential parameters has zero Lebesgue measure.
A property of the tangential coordinate holds almost everywhere on the frontier patch of a Lipschitz boundary chart, for normalized surface measure, exactly when it holds for almost every tangential parameter whose graph point lies in the chart cylinder.
Weighted area formula in a Lipschitz boundary chart. Surface integration over the part of the frontier inside the chart cylinder is integration over its tangential parameters, weighted by the geometric Jacobian of the boundary parametrization. The weight need not be measurable.
