We investigate how the Hausdorff dimension and measure of a self-similar set $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d}$ behave under linear images. This depends on the nature of the group $\mathcal{T}$ generated by the orthogonal parts of the defining maps…

We prove that a compact metric space (or more generally an analytic subset of a complete separable metric space) of Hausdorff dimension bigger than $k$ can be always mapped onto a $k$-dimensional cube by a Lipschitz map. We also show that…

It is a longstanding conjecture that given a subset $E$ of a metric space, if $E$ has finite Hausdorff measure in dimension $\alpha\ge 0$ and $\mathscr{H}^\alpha\llcorner E$ has unit density almost everywhere, then $E$ is an…

We show that given any six numbers $r,s,t,u,v,w \in (0,1]$ satisfying $r \leq s \leq \min(t,u) \leq \max(t,u) \leq v \leq w$, it is possible to construct a compact subset of $[0,1]$ with Hausdorff dimension equal to $r$, lower modified box…

Let $ K $ be a compact subset of the $d$-torus invariant under an expanding diagonal endomorphism with $ s $ distinct eigenvalues. Suppose the symbolic coding of $K$ satisfies weak specification. When $ s \leq 2 $, we prove that the…

In this paper we introduce two notions of fractal sumset properties. A compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is said to have the Hausdorff sumset property (HSP) if for any $\ell\in\mathbb{N}_{\ge 2}$ there exist compact sets $K_1, K_2,\ldots,…

In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…

In an earlier paper Buczolich, Elekes and the author described the Hausdorff dimension of the level sets of a generic real-valued continuous function (in the sense of Baire category) defined on a compact metric space $K$. Later on, the…

The Kakeya conjecture is generally formulated as one the following statements: every compact/Borel/arbitrary subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that contains a (unit) line segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension $n$; or, sometimes, that…

We prove that for any $E\subset{\Bbb R}^2$, $\dim_{\mathcal{H}}(E)>1$, there exists $x\in E$ such that the Hausdorff dimension of the pinned distance set $$\Delta_x(E)=\{|x-y|: y \in E\}$$ is no less than…

Let $\mathcal{K}$ be a discrete valued field with finite residue field. In analogy with orthogonality in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, there is a well-studied notion of "ultrametric orthogonality" in $\mathcal{K}^n$. In this paper,…

For a metric space $X$, let $\mathsf FX$ be the space of all nonempty finite subsets of $X$ endowed with the largest metric $d^1_{\mathsf FX}$ such that for every $n\in\mathbb N$ the map $X^n\to\mathsf FX$, $(x_1,\dots,x_n)\mapsto…

We consider the question which compact metric spaces can be obtained as a Lipschitz image of the middle third Cantor set, or more generally, as a Lipschitz image of a subset of a given compact metric space. In the general case we prove that…

We prove that if $E\subseteq \R^2$ is analytic and $1<d < \dim_H(E)$, there are ``many'' points $x\in E$ such that the Hausdorff dimension of the pinned distance set $\Delta_x E$ is at least $d\left(1 -…

Let $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ be a compact subset equipped with a $\delta$-Ahlfors regular measure $\mu$. For any $\tau>1/d$ and any ``inhomogeneous'' vector $\boldsymbol{\theta}\in\mathbb R^d$, let $W_d(\psi_\tau,\boldsymbol{\theta})$ denote…

It is known that if a compact set $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension greater than $(d+1)/2$, then its $n$-chain distance set $$\Delta^n(E) = \left\{\left(\left|x^1-x^2\right|,\cdots, \left|x^{n}- x^{n+1}\right|\right)\in…

The KC property, a separation axiom between weakly Hausdorff and Hausdorff, requires compact subsets to be closed. Various assumptions involving local conditions, dimension, connectivity, and homotopy show certain KC-spaces are in fact…

Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$. A set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a Furstenberg $s$-set, if for every unit vector $e \in S^{1}$, some line $L_{e}$ parallel to $e$ satisfies $$\dim_{\mathrm{H}} [K \cap L_{e}] \geq s.$$ The Furstenberg set problem,…

Let $1\le m<n$ be integers, and let $K\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a self-similar set satisfying the strong separation condition, and with $\dim K=s>m$. We study the a.s. values of the $s-m$-dimensional Hausdorff and packing measures of $K\cap…

We introduce a novel concept of rank for subsets of finite metric spaces E^n_q (the set of all n-dimensional vectors over an alphabet of size q) equipped with the Hamming distance, where the rank R(A) of a subset A is defined as the number…
