Abstract:
For integers , we consider -valued Radon measures on an open set which satisfy

for all . We show that under certain conditions, has an (n - p)-dimensional density everywhere, and the set of points of positive density is countably (n - p)-rectifiable. This simplifies the proofs of several rectifiability theorems involving varifolds with vanishing first variations, p-harmonic maps, or Yang-Mills connections.
