Somewhat to our surprise, we are able to provide complete extensions to arbitrary dimensions for most of the central results known in the two-dimensional case. %G English %2 https://centralesupelec.hal.science/hal-01261938/document %2 https://centralesupelec.hal.science/hal-01261938/file/vignat_densities.pdf %L hal-01261938 %U https://centralesupelec.hal.science/hal-01261938 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PSUD %~ SUP_LSS %~ INSMI %~ SUP_SIGNAUX %~ CENTRALESUPELEC %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UNIV-PSUD-SACLAY %~ CENTRALESUPELEC-SACLAY %~ GS-ENGINEERING %~ GS-COMPUTER-SCIENCE
