Volume measure for Euclidean geometry #
In this file we introduce a d-dimensional measure for n-dimensional Euclidean affine space,
namely MeasureTheory.Measure.euclideanHausdorffMeasure d with notation μHE[d].
This is the suitable measure to describe area and volume in an environment of arbitrary dimension.
It is characterized by the following properties:
- Coincides with Lebesgue measure when
d = n. - Preserved through isometry, and specifically through affine subspace inclusion.
Internally, this is defined as the MeasureTheory.Measure.hausdorffMeasure scaled by a factor.
The factor is defined nonconstructively as the MeasureTheory.Measure.addHaarScalarFactor between
the Hausdorff measure and the Lebesgue measure on a model Euclidean space.
TODO: show the scaling factor equals to the ratio between the volume of d-dimensional
Metric.ball with Euclidean metric and with sup metric.

Euclidean Hausdorff measure μHE[d], defined as μH[d] scaled to agree with Lebesgue measure
on a d-dimensional Euclidean space. While this is defined on any (e)metric space, it is intended
to be used for affine space associated with an inner product space, where it agrees with the volume
measure on the inner product space.

μHE[0] and μH[0] are equal.
The scalar that defines μHE[d] is non-zero.
If d₁ < d₂, then for any set s we have either μHE[d₂] s = 0, or μHE[d₁] s = ∞.

Integration formula for μHE[d] #
A measurable equivalence between an affine space and its orthogonal decomposition by a base
point and a direction. We show that this is measure preserving between μHE[finrank ℝ V] and
volume at Submodule.measurePreserving_measurableEquivProd.
This is similar to Submodule.orthogonalDecomposition as a MeasurableEquiv, but as the right-hand
side is not with L²-norm, this is not an isometry.

Instances For
The $n$-dimensional volume of an object in an $n$-dimensional space is equal to the integral
of the volume of $(n-d)$-dimensional cross-section along an orthogonal $d$-dimensional subspace.
This is an analogue to MeasureTheory.Measure.prod_apply.
The $n$-dimensional volume of an object in an $n$-dimensional space is equal to the integral
of the volume of $(n-1)$-dimensional orthogonal cross-section along a line defined by a direction
vector. This is a special case of AffineSubspace.euclideanHausdorffMeasure_eq_lintegral with a
one-dimensional subspace.
