In a paper from 1954 Marstrand proved that if K is a Borel subset of the plane with Hausdorff dimension greater than 1, then its one-dimensional projection has positive Lebesgue measure for almost-all directions. In this article, we give a…
In a paper from 1954, Marstrand proved that if $K\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with Hausdorff dimension greater than 1, then its one-dimensional projection has positive Lebesgue measure for almost-all directions. In this article, we show that if…
For a compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^1$ and a family $\{C_\lambda\}_{\lambda\in J}$ of dynamically defined Cantor sets sufficiently close to affine with $\text{dim}_H\, K+\text{dim}_H\, C_\lambda>1$ for all $\lambda\in J$, under natural…
We prove the following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Let $K_1,...,K_n$ Borel subsets of $\mathbb R^{m_1},... ,\mathbb R^{m_n}$ respectively, and $\pi:\mathbb R^{m_1}\times...\times\mathbb…
We present strong versions of Marstrand's projection theorems and other related theorems. For example, if E is a plane set of positive and finite s-dimensional Hausdorff measure, there is a set X of directions of Lebesgue measure 0, such…
We show that under natural technical conditions, the sum of a $C^2$ dynamically defined Cantor set with a compact set in most cases (for almost all parameters) has positive Lebesgue measure, provided that the sum of the Hausdorff dimensions…
Marstrand's projection theorem from $1954$ states that if $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is an analytic set, then, for $\mathcal{H}^{2}$ almost every $e \in S^{2}$, the orthogonal projection $\pi_{e}(K)$ of $K$ to the line spanned by $e$ has…
We prove the following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Consider the space $\Lambda_m=\set{(t,O), t\in\R, O\in SO(m)}$ with the natural measure and set…
We present a complete proof of a theorem of C.G. Moreira. Under mild checkable conditions, the theorem asserts that the Hausdorff dimension of the arithmetic sum of two dynamically defined Cantor subsets of the real line, equals either the…
We investigate variants of Marstrand's projection theorem that hold for sets of directions and classes of sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We say that a set of directions $D \subseteq\mathcal{S}^1$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a class of sets if, for…
We propose a counting dimension for subsets of Z and prove that, under certain conditions on two such subsets E and F, for Lebesgue almost every real \lambda\ the counting dimension of E+[\lambda F] is at least the minimum between 1 and the…
We prove that for $1\le k<d$, if $E$ is a Borel subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly larger than $k$, the set of $(k+1)$-volumes determined by $k+2$ points in $E$ has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In the…
For $\lambda\in(0,1/2]$ let $K_\lambda \subset\mathbb{R}$ be a self-similar set generated by the iterated function system $\{\lambda x, \lambda x+1-\lambda\}$. Given $x\in(0,1/2)$, let $\Lambda(x)$ be the set of $\lambda\in(0,1/2]$ such…
Let $m\in\mathbb N_{\ge 2}$, and let $\mathcal K=\{K_\lambda: \lambda\in(0, 1/m]\}$ be a class of Cantor sets, where $K_{\lambda}=\{\sum_{i=1}^\infty d_i\lambda^i: d_i\in\{0,1,\ldots, m-1\}, i\ge 1\}$. We investigate in this paper the…
In 1994, John Cobb asked: given $N>m>k>0$, does there exist a Cantor set in $\mathbb R^N$ such that each of its projections into $m$-planes is exactly $k$-dimensional? Such sets were described for $(N,m,k)=(2,1,1)$ by L.Antoine (1924) and…
We show that several portions of the complement $M\setminus L$ of the Lagrange spectrum $L$ in the Markov spectrum $M$ can be seen as subsets of arithmetic sums of Cantor sets with controlled Hausdorff dimensions. In particular, we prove…
We establish a refinement of Marstrand's projection theorem for Hausdorff dimension functions finer than the usual power functions, including an analogue of Marstrand's Theorem for logarithmic Hausdorff dimension.
The counting and (upper) mass dimensions are notions of dimension for subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We develop their basic properties and give a characterization of the counting dimension via coverings. In addition, we prove Marstrand-type…
In this paper we prove that among pairs $K,\,K' \subset \mathbb{C}$ of conformal dynamically defined Cantor sets with sum of Hausdorff dimensions $HD(K)+HD(K')>2$, there is an open and dense subset of such pairs verifying…
Let $C$ be the middle-third Cantor set. Define $C*C=\{x*y:x,y\in C\}$, where $*=+,-,\cdot,\div$ (when $*=\div$, we assume $y\neq0$). Steinhaus \cite{HS} proved in 1917 that \[ C-C=[-1,1], C+C=[0,2]. \] In 2019, Athreya, Reznick and Tyson…
