To every closed subset $X$ of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ we associate a natural group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $Ham(X,\omega)$. We equip this group with a semi-norm $\Vert\cdot\Vert^{X,\omega}$, generalizing the Hofer norm. We…

Let X be a normed space. A subset A of X is approximately convex if $d(ta+(1-t)b,A) \le 1$ for all $a,b \in A$ and $t \in [0,1]$ where $d(x,A)$ is the distance of $x$ to $A$. Let $\Co(A)$ be the convex hull and $\diam(A)$ the diameter of…

We investigate the distortion of the Assouad dimension and (regularized) spectrum of sets under planar quasiregular maps. While the respective results for the Hausdorff and upper box-counting dimension follow immediately from their…

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

The purpose of this note is to record a consequence, for general metric spaces, of a recent result of David Bate. We prove the following fact: Let $X$ be a compact metric space of topological dimension $n$. Suppose that the $n$-dimensional…

We introduce a new notion of a harmonic measure for a $d$-dimensional set in $\R^n$ with $d<n-1$, that is, when the codimension is strictly bigger than 1. Our measure is associated to a degenerate elliptic PDE, it gives rise to a…

We give improved bounds for the distortion of the Hausdorff dimension under quasisymmetric maps in terms of the dilatation of their quasiconformal extension. The sharpness of the estimates remains an open question and is shown to be closely…

For every metric space $\mathcal X$ in which there exists a sequence of finite groups of bounded-size generating set that does not embed coarsely, and for every unbounded, increasing function $\rho$, we produce a group of subexponential…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[ I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y), \] and set $M(X) =…

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 the Continuum Hypothesis implies that for every $0<d_1\leq d_2<n$ the measure spaces $(\RR^n,\iM_{\iH^{d_1}},\iH^{d_1})$ and $(\RR^n,\iM_{\iH^{d_2}},\iH^{d_2})$ are isomorphic, where $\iH^d$ is $d$-dimensional Hausdorff measure…

It is well known that almost every dilation of a sequence of real numbers, that diverges to $\infty$, is dense modulo~1. This paper studies the exceptional set of points -- those for which the dilation is not dense. Specifically, we…

Suppose that a metric space $X$ is the union of two metric subspaces $A$ and $B$ that embed into Euclidean space with distortions $D_A$ and $D_B$, respectively. We prove that then $X$ embeds into Euclidean space with a bounded distortion…

In this paper we introduce a notion of dimension and codimension for every element of a distributive bounded lattice $L$. These notions prove to have a good behavior when $L$ is a co-Heyting algebra. In this case the codimension gives rise…

In this paper, we first show that for all four non-negative real numbers, there exists a Cantor ultrametric space whose Hausdorff dimension, packing dimension, upper box dimension, and Assouad dimension are equal to given four numbers,…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…

Let $L$ be an infinite locally compact Hausdorff topological space. We show that extremely regular subspaces of $C_0(L)$ have very strong diameter $2$ properties and, for every real number $\varepsilon$ with $0<\varepsilon<1$, contain an…

In this paper we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of singular pairs is 4/3. We also show that the action of diag(e^t,e^t,e^{-2t}) on SL(3,R)/SL(3,Z) admits divergent trajectories that exit to infinity at arbitrarily slow…

It is shown that for every $K>0$ and $\e\in (0,1/2)$ there exist $N=N(K)\in \N$ and $D=D(K,\e)\in (1,\infty)$ with the following properties. For every separable metric space $(X,d)$ with doubling constant at most $K$, the metric space…

We show the existence of a bounded Borel measurable saturated compensation function for a factor map between subshifts. As an application, we find the Hausdorff dimension and measures of full Hausdorff dimension for a compact invariant set…
