Minimal H\"older regularity implying finiteness of integral Menger curvature

We study two families of integral functionals indexed by a real number $p > 0$. One family is defined for 1-dimensional curves in $\R^3$ and the other one is defined for $m$-dimensional manifolds in $\R^n$. These functionals are described as integrals of appropriate integrands (strongly related to the Menger curvature) raised to power $p$. Given $p > m(m+1)$ we prove that $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the set (a curve or a manifold), with $\alpha > \alpha_0 = 1 - \frac{m(m+1)}p$ implies finiteness of both curvature functionals ($m=1$ in the case of curves). We also show that $\alpha_0$ is optimal by constructing examples of $C^{1,\alpha_0}$ functions with graphs of infinite integral curvature.
