The $D$-Variant of Transfinite Hausdorff Dimension
Abstract
We assign every metric space the value , an ordinal number or one of the symbols or , and we call it the -variant of transfinite Hausdorff dimension of . This ordinal assignment is primarily constructed by way of the -dimension, a transfinite dimension function consistent with the large inductive dimension on finite dimensional metric spaces while also addressing shortcomings of the large transfinite inductive dimension. Similar to Hausdorff dimension, is monotone with respect to subspaces, and is a bi-Lipschitz invariant. It is also non-increasing with respect to Lipschitz maps and satisfies a coarse intermediate dimension property. We also show that this new transfinite Hausdorff dimension function addresses the primary goal of transfinite Hausdorff dimension functions; to classify metric spaces with infinite Hausdorff dimension. In particular, we show that if , then . for any separable metric space, and that one can find a metrizable space with bounded between a given ordinal and it's successive cardinal with topological dimension .
