We prove that a purely unrectifiable self-similar set of finite 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure in the plane, satisfying the Open Set Condition, has radial projection of zero length from every point.

This paper contains two results on the dimension and smoothness of radial projections of sets and measures in Euclidean spaces. To introduce the first one, assume that $E,K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ are non-empty Borel sets with…

We prove that most one-dimensional projections of a discrete subset of a plane are either dense in R (the real line), or form a discrete subset of R. More precisely, the set E of exceptional directions (for which the indicated dichotomy…

We give upper bounds on the number of exceptional radial projections of arbitrary subsets of vector spaces over finite fields. Our bounds do not depend on the dimension of the ambient space. Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional…

We characterise purely $n$-unrectifiable subsets $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ with finite Hausdorff $n$-measure by studying arbitrarily small perturbations of elements of the set of all bounded 1-Lipschitz functions $f\colon X \to…

In this paper we establish a Besicovitch-Federer type projection theorem for general measures. Specifically, let $\mu$ be a finite Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $0 < m < n$ be an integer. We show that, under the sole assumption…

We improve the best known lower bound for the dimension of radial projections of sets in the plane. We show that if $X,Y$ are Borel sets in $\R^2$, $X$ is not contained in any line and $\dim_H(X)>0$, then $$\sup\limits_{x\in X} \dim_H(\pi_x…

By using a multiscale analysis, we establish quantitative versions of the Besicovitch projection theorem (almost every projection of a purely unrectifiable set in the plane of finite length has measure zero) and a standard companion result,…

The "visibility" of a planar set $S$ from a point $a$ is defined as the normalized size of the radial projection of $S$ from $a$ to the unit circle centered at $a$. Simon and Solomyak (Real Anal. Exchange 2006/07) proved that unrectifiable…

Extending results of Suss and Hadwiger (proved by them for the case of convex bodies and positive ratios), we show that compact (respectively, closed) convex sets in the Euclidean space of dimension n are homothetic provided for any given…

Given positive integers $\ell<n$ and a real $d\in (\ell,n)$, we construct sets $K\subset \mathbb R^n$ with positive and finite Hausdorff $d-$measure such that the Radon-Nikodym derivative associated to all projections on $\ell-$dimensional…

Let $d,m_1,...,m_r$ be ($r+1$) positive integers, and $P_1,...,P_r$ be $r$ general points in the projective plane ; let $m$ be a positive integer. We prove that there exists a bound $d_0(m)$ such that : If $m_i < m$ ($0<i<r+1$), and $d >…

We characterize collections of orthogonal projections for which it is possible to reconstruct a vector from the magnitudes of the corresponding projections. As a result we are able to show that in an $M$-dimensional real vector space a…

The classical Besicovitch projection theorem states that if a planar set $E$ with finite length is purely unrectifiable, then almost all orthogonal projections of $E$ have zero length. We prove a quantitative version of this result: if…

A locally compact stable plane of positive topological dimension will be called semiaffine if for every line $L$ and every point $p$ not in $L$ there is at most one line passing through $p$ and disjoint from $L$. We show that then the plane…

It is conjectured that the question of the existence of projective planes whose order is not a power of prime is intimately linked with the problem whether there exists a set of d+1 mutually unbiased bases in a d-dimensional Hilbert space…

We prove that there is no d such that all finite projective planes can be represented by convex sets in R^d, answering a question of Alon, Kalai, Matousek, and Meshulam. Here, if P is a projective plane with lines l_1,...,l_n, a…

Let $d \geq 2$ and $d - 1 < s < d$. Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported Radon measure in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with finite $s$-energy. I prove that the radial projections $\pi_{x\sharp}\mu$ of $\mu$ are absolutely continuous with respect to…

If a compact set K \subset R^2 contains a positive-dimensional family of line-segments in positively many directions, then K has positive measure.

It is well known that a non-singular real plane projective curve of degree five with five connected components is separating if and only if its ovals are in non-convex position. In this article, this property is set into a different context…
