Reason: Bounds the Lebesgue measure of a bounded slab about a hyperplane by 2*sigma_n*delta*(2R)^(n-1), the quantitative input to the Lipschitz analogue of Sard's theorem. · 1,193 chars · 1 dep · depth 16

The set of points within distance RR of a centre and within distance δ\delta of a hyperplane through it has Lebesgue measure at most 2σnδ(2R)n12\sigma_n\delta(2R)^{n-1}.

Statement

We work in the setting of Euclidean Space and Lebesgue Measure: Standing Notation, whose notation is fixed for every dimension and is used here with a natural number nn satisfying 1n1\le n: the Euclidean norm \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert, distance, dot product and topology on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, together with the notions of open, closed and bounded subsets, the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), Lebesgue measure λn\lambda_{n}, the absolute value and natural powers of real numbers, and the constant σn\sigma_{n} with σn2=n\sigma_{n}^{2}=n are all as fixed there.

Let z,νRnz,\nu\in\mathbb{R}^{n} with ν=1\lVert\nu\rVert=1, and let R,δRR,\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<R0<R and 0<δ0<\delta. Put

Σ={yRn:yzR  and  ν(yz)δ}.\Sigma=\{y\in\mathbb{R}^{n}:\lVert y-z\rVert\le R\ \text{ and }\ |\nu\cdot(y-z)|\le\delta\}.

Then ΣB(Rn)\Sigma\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and

λn(Σ)2σnδ(2R)n1,\lambda_{n}(\Sigma)\le 2\,\sigma_{n}\,\delta\,(2R)^{n-1},

where the factor (2R)n1(2R)^{n-1} is to be read as 11 when n=1n=1.
