Hausdorff measure of spheres #
Let E be a real inner product space of dimension n. Mathlib's surface measure
Measure.toSphere volume on the unit sphere is defined through cones: a set s of the sphere
has measure n times the volume of Ioo 0 1 • s. This file identifies it with the normalized
(n - 1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure μHE[n - 1] of the sphere, and deduces
μHE[n - 1] (sphere c r) = n ω_n r ^ (n - 1), for r > 0,
where ω_n = volume (ball 0 1). These are the constants of polar integration with respect to
Hausdorff measure, and they agree with Mathlib's volume of balls. The passage from the unit sphere
to sphere c r is a rescaling statement valid for every dimension d in every real normed space:
μHE[d] on sphere c r is r ^ d times the pushforward of μHE[d] on the unit sphere by
u ↦ c + r • u.
The comparison is a cone formula for parametrizations of pieces of the unit sphere. If
ψ : W → E takes values in the unit sphere near a measurable set s, where dim W = n - 1, and
ψ is injective on s with injective derivative, then (t, w) ↦ t • ψ w parametrizes the cone
Ioo 0 1 • ψ '' s. Since ψ w is a unit vector orthogonal to the range of the derivative of ψ,
the Jacobian of the cone map at (t, w) is t ^ (n - 1) times the Jacobian of ψ at w
(LinearMap.normDet_toSpanSingleton_coprod). The area formula applied to both maps, and
integration of t ^ (n - 1) over (0, 1), give
μHE[n - 1] (ψ '' s) = n volume (Ioo 0 1 • ψ '' s).
The inverse of Mathlib's stereographic projection from a unit vector v parametrizes the sphere
minus v in this way, and the projections from v and -v together cover the sphere. No
lower bound on the dimension is needed: in dimension one, both measures count points.

Rescaling Hausdorff measure on spheres. For r > 0, the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure
on the sphere sphere c r is r ^ d times the pushforward of the d-dimensional Hausdorff
measure on the unit sphere by u ↦ c + r • u.
Rescaling integrals over spheres. For r > 0, integrating a nonnegative function against

Cone formula. Let ψ : W → E take values in the unit sphere near a measurable set s,
where dim W + 1 = dim E, and let ψ be injective on s and differentiable on s with injective
derivative. Then the dim W-dimensional Hausdorff measure of ψ '' s is dim E times the
volume of the cone Ioo 0 1 • ψ '' s.
