We consider some definitions of tangent space to a Radon measure mu on R-n
that have been given in the literature. In particular, we focus our attenti
on on a recent distributional notion of tangent Vector field to a measure a
nd we compare it to other definitions coming from 'geometric measure theory
', based on the idea of blow-up. After showing some classes of examples, we
prove an estimate from above for the dimension of the tangent spaces and a
rectifiability theorem which also includes the case of measures supported
on sets of variable dimension.
