Abstract

The Hausdorff δ\delta-dimension game was introduced by Das, Fishman, Simmons and {Urba{\'n}ski} and shown to characterize sets in Rd\mathbb{R}^d having Hausdorff dimension δ\leq \delta. We introduce a variation of this game which also characterizes Hausdorff dimension and for which we are able to prove an unfolding result similar to the basic unfolding property for the Banach-Mazur game for category. We use this to derive a number of consequences for Hausdorff dimension. We show that under AD\mathsf{AD} any wellordered union of sets each of which has Hausdorff dimension δ\leq \delta has dimension δ\leq \delta. We establish a continuous uniformization result for Hausdorff dimension. The unfolded game also provides a new proof that every Σ11\boldsymbol{\Sigma}^1_1 set of Hausdorff dimension δ\geq \delta contains a compact subset of dimension δ\geq \delta' for any δ<δ\delta'<\delta, and this result generalizes to arbitrary sets under AD\mathsf{AD}.
