The precise representative for the gradient of the Riesz potential of a finite measure

Given a finite nonnegative Borel measure $m$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, we identify the Lebesgue set $\mathcal{L}(V_s)\subset {\mathbb{R}}^d$ of the vector-valued function $$V_s(x)={\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^d}\frac{x-y}{\mathrm{\mid }x-y{\mathrm{\mid }}^{s+1}}\mathrm{d}m(y),$$ for any order $0<s<d$. We prove that $a \in $\mathcal{L}$(V_{s})$ifandonlyiftheintegralabovehasaprincipalvalueat$a$and$${\lim }_{r\to 0}\frac{m(B_r(a))}{r^s}=0.$$ In that case, the precise representative of $V_s$ at $a$ coincides with the principal value of the integral. We also study the existence of Lebesgue points for the Cauchy integral of the intrinsic probability measure associated with planar Cantor sets, which leads to challenging new questions.
