We show that whenever a separable subset $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ admits a $d$-dimensional weak tangent field, the set $S$ is close to being $d$-dimensional in the following sense. Whenever $\mu$ is a Borel finite measure on $X$…
In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…
Fractal Lipschitz-Killing curvature measures C^f_k(F,.), k = 0, ..., d, are determined for a large class of self-similar sets F in R^d. They arise as weak limits of the appropriately rescaled classical Lipschitz-Killing curvature measures…
We investigate the algebraic genericity of various families of continuous functions exhibiting extreme irregularity, focusing on fractal dimensions, H\"older regularity, and fractional differentiability. Our first main result shows that for…
The theory of uniform Diophantine approximation concerns the study of Dirichlet improvable numbers and the metrical aspect of this theory leads to the study of the product of consecutive partial quotients in continued fractions. It is known…
The Lagrange spectrum $\mathcal{L}$ and Markov spectrum $\mathcal{M}$ are subsets of the real line with complicated fractal properties that appear naturally in the study of Diophantine approximations. It is known that the Hausdorff…
We show a new method of estimating the Hausdorff measure (of the proper dimension) of a fractal set from below. The method requires computing the subsequent closest return times of a point to itself.
In this paper we construct a new family of sets based on Diophantine approximation in the Euclidean space, and consider their applications in several problems in harmonic analysis. Our first application is on the Hausdorff dimension of our…
Intrinsic Diophantine approximation on fractals, such as the Cantor ternary set, was undoubtedly motivated by questions asked by K. Mahler (1984). One of the main goals of this paper is to develop and utilize the theory of infinite de…
In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…
It is well known due to Jarnik that the set Bad of badly approximable numbers is of Hausdorff-dimension one. If Bad(c) denotes the subset of x in Bad for which the approximation constant c > c(x), then Jarnik was in fact more precise and…
The classical Hausdorff dimension of finite or countable metric spaces is zero. Recently, we defined a variant, called \emph{finite Hausdorff dimension}, which is not necessarily trivial on finite metric spaces. In this paper we apply this…
We show that every interval in the homomorphism order of finite undirected graphs is either universal or a gap. Together with density and universality this "fractal" property contributes to the spectacular properties of the homomorphism…
We call a badly approximable number $decaying$ if, roughly, the Lagrange constants of integer multiples of that number decay as fast as possible. In this terminology, a question of Y. Bugeaud ('15) asks to find the Hausdorff dimension of…
Singular vectors are those for which the quality of rational approximations provided by Dirichlet's Theorem can be improved by arbitrarily small multiplicative constants. We provide an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of singular…
We introduce fractional flat space, described by a continuous geometry with constant non-integer Hausdorff and spectral dimensions. This is the analogue of Euclidean space, but with anomalous scaling and diffusion properties. The basic tool…
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…
Fine regularity of stochastic processes is usually measured in a local way by local H\"older exponents and in a global way by fractal dimensions. Following a previous work of Adler, we connect these two concepts for multiparameter Gaussian…
We investigate the Hausdorff measure and content on a class of quasi self-similar sets that include, for example, graph-directed and sub self-similar and self-conformal sets. We show that any Hausdorff measurable subset of such a set has…
We extend the parametric geometry of numbers (initiated by Schmidt and Summerer, and deepened by Roy) to Diophantine approximation for systems of $m$ linear forms in $n$ variables, and establish a new connection to the metric theory via a…
