All projections of a typical Cantor set are Cantor sets
Abstract
In 1994, John Cobb asked: given , does there exist a Cantor set in such that each of its projections into -planes is exactly -dimensional? Such sets were described for by L.Antoine (1924) and for by K.Borsuk (1947). Examples were constructed for the cases by J.Cobb (1994), for and in a different way for by O.Frolkina (2010, 2019), for by S.Barov, J.J.Dijkstra and M.van der Meer (2012). We show that such sets are exceptional in the following sense. Let be a set of all Cantor subsets of endowed with the Hausdorff metric. It is known that is a Baire space. We prove that there is a dense subset such that for each and each non-zero linear subspace , the orthogonal projection of into is a Cantor set. This gives a partial answer to another question of J.Cobb stated in the same paper (1994).
