The connections between quasi-Assouad dimension and tangents are studied. We apply these results to the calculation of the quasi-Assouad dimension for a class of planar self-affine sets. We also show that sets with decreasing gaps have…
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 extends some results of [M5] and [M3], in particular, removing assumptions of positive lower density. We give conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{m}, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal…
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.
For $e \in S^{2}$, the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, let $\pi_{e}$ be the orthogonal projection to $e^{\perp} \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$, and let $W \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ be any $2$-plane, which is not a subspace. We prove that if $K…
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…
We give a very short argument showing how the main identity from our earlier paper (Sogge and Zelditch, 2011) immediately leads to the best lower bound currently known (Colding and Minicozzi II, 2011) for the Hausdorff measure of nodal sets…
We prove a sharp upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of weighted singular vectors in $\mathbb{R}^m$ using dynamics on homogeneous spaces, specifically the method of integral inequalities. Together with the lower bound proved recently by…
Given a weight vector $\tau=(\tau_{1}, \dots, \tau_{n}) \in \mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}$ with each $\tau_{i}$ bounded by certain constraints, we obtain a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of $\tau$-approximable points points over a…
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…
This paper concerns the intermediate dimensions, a spectrum of dimensions that interpolate between the Hausdorff and box dimensions. Potential theoretic methods are used to produce dimension bounds for images of sets under H\"older maps and…
This document offers a concise introduction to the mathematical theory and practical application of the Hausdorff Measure and Dimension. The primary objective is to clarify and rigorously detail the two most common methods used for…
Let $T_1,\ldots, T_m$ be a family of $d\times d$ invertible real matrices with $\|T_i\|<1/2$ for $1\leq i\leq m$. For ${\bf a}=(a_1,\ldots, a_m)\in \Bbb R^{md}$, let $\pi^{{\bf a}}:\; \Sigma=\{1,\ldots, m\}^{\Bbb N}\to \Bbb R^d$ denote the…
We prove bounds for the almost sure value of the Hausdorff dimension of the limsup set of a sequence of balls in $\mathbf{R}^d$ whose centres are independent, identically distributed random variables. The formulas obtained involve the rate…
We provide an estimate from below for the lower Hausdorff dimension of measures on the unit circle based on the arithmetic properties of their spectra. We obtain our bounds via application of a general result for abstract $q$-regular…
This paper contains new results on two classical topics in fractal geometry: projections, and intersections with affine planes. To keep the notation of the abstract simple, we restrict the discussion to the planar cases of our theorems. Our…
Let $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a union of line segments and $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ the set obtained from $E$ by extending each line segment in $E$ to a full line. Keleti's line segment extension conjecture posits that the Hausdorff…
This paper is concerned with restricted families of projections in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ be a Borel set with Hausdorff dimension $\dim K = s > 1$. If $\mathcal{G}$ is a smooth and sufficiently well-curved…
The Falconer distinct distance problem asks for a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ how large its Hausdorff dimension needs to be to ensure that the Lebesgue measure of its distance set is positive. In this paper we consider the analogous…
The set of badly approximable $m \times n $ matrices is known to have Hausdorff dimension $mn $. Each such matrix comes with its own approximation constant $c$, and one can ask for the dimension of the set of badly approximable matrices…
