Under mild conditions we show that the affinity dimension of a planar self-affine set is equal to the supremum of the Lyapunov dimensions of self-affine measures supported on self-affine proper subsets of the original set. These self-affine…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

We prove some geometric properties of sets in the first Heisenberg group whose Heisenberg Hausdorff dimension is the minimal or maximal possible in relation to their Euclidean one and the corresponding Hausdorff measures are positive and…

We study the L^q -dimensions of self-affine measures and the Kaenmaki measure on a class of self-affine sets similar to the class considered by Hueter and Lalley. We give simple, checkable conditions under which the Lq -dimensions are equal…

The Erd\H os unit distance conjecture in the plane says that the number of pairs of points from a point set of size $n$ separated by a fixed (Euclidean) distance is $\leq C_{\epsilon} n^{1+\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$. The best known…

The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Somewhat less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear…

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…

Hausdorff measure and Hausdorff dimension are useful tools to describe fractals. This paper investigates the bounds on the $d\log_32$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the $d$-fold Cartesian product of the $1/3$ Cantor set, $\mathcal C^d$.…

The classical Hausdorff dimension of finite or countable sets is zero. We define an analog for finite sets, called finite Hausdorff dimension which is non-trivial. It turns out that a finite bound for the finite Hausdorff dimension…

We prove that if ${\mathcal E} \subset {\Bbb R}^{2d}$, $d \ge 2$, is an Ahlfors-David regular product set of sufficiently large Hausdorff dimension, denoted by $dim_{{\mathcal H}}({\mathcal E})$, and $\phi$ is a sufficiently regular…

For a sequence of integers $\{a(x)\}_{x \geq 1}$ we show that the distribution of the pair correlations of the fractional parts of $\{ \langle \alpha a(x) \rangle \}_{x \geq 1}$ is asymptotically Poissonian for almost all $\alpha$ if the…

Let E be a plane self-affine set defined by affine transformations with linear parts given by matrices with positive entries. We show that if mu is a Bernoulli measure on E with dim_H mu = dim_L mu, where dim_H and dim_L denote Hausdorff…

We establish the existence of $N$-point sets in dimension $d$ whose star-discrepancy is bounded above by $2.4631832 \sqrt{\frac{d}{N}}$, where the numerical constant improves upon all previously known bounds. This improvement is obtained by…

We show that if K is a self-similar set in the plane with positive length, then the distance set of K has Hausdorff dimension one.

We give conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\R^n\to\R^m, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal projections which guarantee that the Hausdorff dimension formula $\dim A\cap P_{\lambda}^{-1}\{u\}=s-m$ holds generically for measurable…

In this note we study the behavior of the size of Furstenberg sets with respect to the size of the set of directions defining it. For any pair $\alpha,\beta\in(0,1]$, we will say that a set $E\subset \R^2$ is an $F_{\alpha\beta}$-set if…

We survey the history and recent developments around two decades-old problems that continue to attract a great deal of interest: the slicing $\times 2$, $\times 3$ conjecture of H. Furstenberg in ergodic theory, and the distance set problem…

An affine iterated function system is a finite collection of affine invertible contractions and the invariant set associated to the mappings is called self-affine. In 1988, Falconer proved that, for given matrices, the Hausdorff dimension…

We consider digits-deleted sets or Cantor-type sets with $\beta$-expansions. We calculate the Hausdorff dimension $d$ of these sets and show that $d$ is continuous with respect to $\beta$. The $d$-dimentional Hausdorff measure of these sets…

We quantify the pointwise doubling properties of self-similar measures using the notion of pointwise Assouad dimension. We show that all self-similar measures satisfying the open set condition are pointwise doubling in a set of full…
