This is a revision (and partial retraction) of my previous abstarct. Let $\lambda(X)$ denote Lebesgue measure. If $X\subseteq [0,1]$ and $r \in (0,1)$ then the $r$-Hausdorff capacity of $X$ is denoted by $H^r(X)$ and is defined to be the…

For a compact subset K of the plane and a point x, we define the visible part of K from x to be the set K_x={u\in K : [x,u]\cap K={u}}. (Here [x,u] denotes the closed line segment joining x to u.) In this paper, we use energies to show that…

This paper investigates the dimension theory of some families of continuous piecewise linear iterated function systems. For one family, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is equal to the exponential growth rate obtained…

Random sets are used to get a continuous partition of the cardinality of the union of many overlapping sets. The formalism uses M\"obius transforms and adapts Shapley's methodology in cooperative game theory, into the context of set theory.…

Global random attractors and random point attractors for random dynamical systems have been studied for several decades. Here we introduce two intermediate concepts: $\Delta$-attractors are characterized by attracting all deterministic…

We study the iteration of functions in the exponential family. We construct a number of sets, consisting of points which escape to infinity `slowly', and which have Hausdorff dimension equal to 1. We prove these results by using the idea of…

We completely describe the equilibrium states of a class of potentials over the full shift which includes Falconer's singular value function for affine iterated function systems with invertible affinities. We show that the number of…

We compute the Hausdorff, upper box and packing dimensions for certain inhomogeneous Moran set constructions. These constructions are beyond the classical theory of iterated function systems, as different nonlinear contraction…

We show that the set of numbers that are $Q$-distribution normal but not simply $Q$-ratio normal has full Hausdorff dimension. It is further shown under some conditions that countable intersections of sets of this form still have full…

In 1988 K. Falconer introduced a formula which predicts the value of the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of an affine iterated function system. The value given by this formula -- sometimes referred to as the affinity dimension -- is…

In this paper, exact Hausdorff dimension formulas for a class of self-affine attractors generated by affine Iterated Function Systems are derived. We consider systems containing an affine map whose $n$-th iterate is a similarity…

In this paper, we determine the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points with divergent trajectories on the product of certain homogeneous spaces. The flow is allowed to be weighted with respect to the factors in the product space. The…

The Hausdorff dimension of a product XxY can be strictly greater than that of Y, even when the Hausdorff dimension of X is zero. But when X is countable, the Hausdorff dimensions of Y and XxY are the same. Diagonalizations of covers define…

We study the sets $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{M}\setminus\mathcal{L}$ near $3$, where $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ are the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra. More specifically, we construct a strictly decreasing sequence…

I. J. Good (1941) showed that the set of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose partial quotients $a_n$ tend to infinity is of Hausdorff dimension $1/2$. A number of related results impose restrictions of the type $a_n\in B$ or $a_n\geq f(n)$,…

For each prime p and a monic polynomial f, invertible over p, we define a group G_{p,f} of p-adic automorphisms of the p-ary rooted tree. The groups are modeled after the first Grigorchuk group, which in this setting is the group…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma$, and $f$ an affine map from $X$ to itself. We give conditions on a submanifold $Z$ of $X$ guaranteeing that the set of points $x\in X$ with $f$-trajectories…

We show that if $B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $E \subset A(n,k)$ is a nonempty collection of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that every $P \in E$ intersects $B$ in a set of Hausdorff dimension at least $\alpha$ with…

Hausdorff dimension results are a classical topic in the study of path properties of random fields. This article presents an alternative approach to Hausdorff dimension results for the sample functions of a large class of self-affine random…

A classical theorem due to Mattila (see \cite{Mat84}; see also \cite{M95}, Chapter 13) says that if $A,B \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension $s_A, s_B$, respectively, with $s_A+s_B \ge d$, $s_B>\frac{d+1}{2}$ and $dim_{{\mathcal…
