Abstract

Marstrand's projection theorem from 19541954 states that if KR3K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3} is an analytic set, then, for H2\mathcal{H}^{2} almost every eS2e \in S^{2}, the orthogonal projection πe(K)\pi_{e}(K) of KK to the line spanned by ee has Hausdorff dimension min{dimHK,1}\min\{\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K,1\}. This paper contains the following sharper version of Marstrand's theorem. Let VR3V \subset \mathbb{R}^{3} be any 22-plane, which is not a subspace. Then, for H1\mathcal{H}^{1} almost every eS2Ve \in S^{2} \cap V, the projection πe(K)\pi_{e}(K) has Hausdorff dimension min{dimHK,1}\min\{\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K,1\}. For 0t<dimHK0 \leq t < \dim_{\mathrm{H}} K, we also prove an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of those vectors eS2Ve \in S^{2} \cap V with dimHρe(K)t<dimHK\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \rho_{e}(K) \leq t < \dim_{\mathrm{H}} K.
