Abstract

In this paper we consider fractal percolation random Cantor sets EE on the plane constructed with non-homogeneous probabilities. We focus on the case when the probabilities are large enough to guarantee that the almost sure dimension of EE is greater than 11. Under this assumption in the case of homogeneous (equal) probabilities it was proved by Rams and the first author that the orthogonal projection of EE contains an interval simultaneously in all directions. Moreover, Peres and Rams proved the stronger result that the orthogonal projection of the natural measure on EE to every line is absolutely continuous with H\"older-continuous density. We point out that in the case of non-homogeneous probabilities neither of the two previous assertions remain valid. However, we also prove that in the non-homogeneous case every line whose tangent is neither a rational nor a Liouville number is non-exceptional. That is, almost surely for all of these directions the projection of EE contains some interval and the projection of the natural measure has H\"older-continuous density.
