Abstract

We prove the following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Let K1,...,KnK_1,...,K_n Borel subsets of Rm1,...,Rmn\mathbb R^{m_1},... ,\mathbb R^{m_n} respectively, and π:Rm1×...×RmnRk\pi:\mathbb R^{m_1}\times...\times\mathbb R^{m_n}\to\mathbb R^k be a surjective linear map. We set m:=min{iIdimH(Ki)+dimπ(iIcRmi),I{1,...,n},I}.\mathfrak{m}:=\min\{\sum_{i\in I}\dim_H(K_i) + \dim\pi(\bigoplus_{i\in I^c}\mathbb R^{m_i}), I\subset\{1,...,n\}, I\ne\emptyset\}. Consider the space Λm={(t,O),tR,OSO(m)}\Lambda_m=\{(t,O), t\in\mathbb R, O\in SO(m)\} with the natural measure and set Λ=Λm1×...×Λmn\Lambda=\Lambda_{m_1}\times...\times\Lambda_{m_n}. For every λ=(t1,O1,...,tn,On)Λ\lambda=(t_1,O_1,...,t_n,O_n)\in\Lambda and every x=(x1,,xn)Rm1×...×Rmnx=(x^1,,x^n)\in\mathbb R^{m_1}\times...\times\mathbb R^{m_n} we define πλ(x)=π(t1O1x1,...,tnOnxn)\pi_\lambda(x)=\pi(t_1O_1x^1,...,t_nO_nx^n). Then we have (i)(i) If m>k\mathfrak{m}>k, then πλ(K1×...×Kn)\pi_\lambda(K_1\times...\times K_n) has positive kk-dimensional Lebesgue measure for almost every λΛ\lambda\in\Lambda. (ii)(ii) If mk\mathfrak{m}\leq k and dimH(K1×...×Kn)=dimH(K1)+...+dimH(Kn)\dim_H(K_1\times...\times K_n)=\dim_H(K_1)+...+\dim_H(K_n), then \dim_H(\pi_\lambda(K_1\times...\times K_n))=\mathfrak{m}foralmostevery for almost every \lambda\in\Lambda$.
