We show that at generic points blow-ups/tangents of differentiability spaces are still differentiability spaces; this implies that an analytic condition introduced by Keith as an inequality (and later proved to actually be an equality) passes to tangents. As an application, we characterize the $p$-weak gradient on iterated blow-ups of differentiability spaces.
For every n, we construct a metric measure space that is doubling, satisfies a Poincare inequality in the sense of Heinonen-Koskela, has topological dimension n, and has a measurable tangent bundle of dimension 1.
Using an inverse system of metric graphs as in: J. Cheeger and B. Kleiner, "Inverse limit spaces satisfying a Poincaré inequality", we provide a simple example of a metric space $X$ that admits Poincaré inequalities for a continuum of mutually singular measures.
We investigate the relationship between measurable differentiable structures on doubling metric measure spaces and derivations. We prove: [1] a decomposition theorem for the module of derivations into free modules; [2] the existence of a measurable differentiable structure assuming that one can control the pointwise upper Lipschitz constant of a function through derivations; [3] an extension of a result of Keith about the choice of chart functions.
