The David-Semmes problem in higher codimension: bounded Riesz transforms force uniform rectifiability for 1 < n < d-1

Theorem 1.3: for integers d≥4d\ge4 and 2≤n≤d−22\le n\le d-2, an nn-AD-regular Radon measure on Rd\mathbb R^d whose hard-truncated Riesz transforms are uniformly bounded L2(μ)→L2(μ;Rd)L^2(\mu)\to L^2(\mu;\mathbb R^d) is uniformly nn-rectifiable, with constants depending only on d,n,CAD,CRd,n,C_{AD},C_R; the conclusion is given as uniform big pieces of Lipschitz images of balls. With the known cases n=1n=1 and n=d−1n=d-1 this answers the David-Semmes question in every dimension and codimension. The converse direction and non-integer dimensions are not addressed here.
