Zero Jacobians and the area formula for injective Lipschitz maps #
Let U and V be finite-dimensional real inner product spaces, m = dim U, and let
J f x = (fderiv ℝ f x).normDet be the m-dimensional Jacobian of f : U → V. This file shows
that the points where f is not differentiable with injective derivative do not matter for the
area formula of a Lipschitz map:
- Zero Jacobians have null images. If
fis differentiable at every point of a setsandJ f = 0ons, thenμHE[m] (f '' s) = 0. No Lipschitz, measurability, or injectivity hypothesis is needed. This is the rectangular counterpart of Mathlib'saddHaar_image_eq_zero_of_det_fderivWithin_eq_zero, measured by the normalized Hausdorff measureμHE[m]of the target rather than by its volume. - The area formula for injective Lipschitz maps. If
fis Lipschitz and injective on a measurable sets, then∫⁻ x in s, J f x = μHE[m] (f '' s), with a weighted form for an arbitrary nonnegative weight on the target. UnlikeMeasureTheory.lintegral_normDet_fderiv_eq_euclideanHausdorffMeasure_image, neither differentiability nor injectivity of the derivative is assumed.
The argument #
For the first statement, f is lifted to g ε x = (f x, ε x) in the Euclidean product of V and
U. For ε ≠ 0 the lift is injective with injective derivative, so the injective area formula
applies to it, and f is the composition of g ε with the 1-Lipschitz first projection. Hence
μHE[m] (f '' s) ≤ ∫⁻ x in s, J (g ε) x. As ε → 0, the derivative of g ε tends to the
derivative of x ↦ (f x, 0), whose Jacobian is J f x = 0. On bounded pieces of s where
fderiv ℝ f is bounded, dominated convergence shows that the integrals tend to zero.
For the second statement, Rademacher's theorem LipschitzWith.ae_differentiableAt makes the set
of nondifferentiability points null, so its image is null, while the first statement makes the
image of the points with zero Jacobian null. On the remaining points the derivative is injective
and the regular injective area formula applies.

The set of differentiability points with nonzero geometric Jacobian is Borel measurable.
Zero Jacobians have null images. Let U and V be finite-dimensional real inner product
spaces. If f : U → V is differentiable at every point of s and its dim U-dimensional
Jacobian (fderiv ℝ f x).normDet vanishes there, then f '' s is null for the
dim U-dimensional Euclidean Hausdorff measure. The set s need not be measurable.
A Lipschitz map sends the complement of its regular points, where it is differentiable with nonzero Jacobian, to a null set.
Linear approximation of a Lipschitz map on pieces. For every δ > 0, the image of a
Lipschitz map f : U → V is covered, up to a μHE[dim U]-null set, by the images of countably
many disjoint Borel pieces P n, each with an approximating linear map A n that is injective
whenever the piece is nonempty and satisfies ‖f x - f y - A n (x - y)‖ ≤ δ ‖A n (x - y)‖ on the
piece.
The image of a Lipschitz map is covered up to a null set by images of countably many disjoint Borel sets on which the map has a Lipschitz inverse. The forward Lipschitz bound is inherited from the original map.

g ∘ f weighted by the Jacobian (fderiv ℝ f x).normDet. The weight need not be measurable.
