Abstract

We provide a simplified proof of the following well-known theorem. The projection to Rn + 1of an n-dimensional rectifiable Legendrian subset of Rn+1 × Snis C2-rectifiable. Such a result generalizes the following simple fact. Let M be a hypersurface whose Gauss map has graph of class C1. Then M is of class C2.
