LetYndenote the Gromov-Hausdorff limit $M^{n}_{i}\stackrel{d_{\mathrm{GH}}}{\longrightarrow} Y^{n}$ of v-noncollapsed Riemannian manifolds with. The singular sethas a stratification, whereif no tangent cone atysplits off a factor ℝk+1isometrically. Here, we define for allη>0, 0<r≤1, thek-th effective singular stratumsatisfying. Sharpening the known Hausdorff dimension bound, we prove that for ally, the volume of ther-tubular neighborhood ofsatisfies. The proof involves aquantitative differentiationargument. This result has applications to Einstein manifolds. Letdenote the set of points at which theC2-harmonic radius is ≤r. If also theare Kähler-Einstein withL2curvature bound,, thenfor ally. In the Kähler-Einstein case, without assuming any integral curvature bound on the, we obtain a slightly weaker volume bound onwhich yields an a prioriLpcurvature bound for allp<2. The methodology developed in this paper is new and is applicable in many other contexts. These include harmonic maps, minimal hypersurfaces, mean curvature flow and critical sets of solutions to elliptic equations.
