Let $\gamma:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{S}^{2}$ be a non-degenerate curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$, that is to say, $\det\big(\gamma(\theta),\gamma'(\theta),\gamma"(\theta)\big)\neq 0$. For each $\theta\in[0,1]$, let $V_\theta=\gamma(\theta)^\perp$…

It is shown that if $\gamma: [a,b] \to S^2$ is $C^3$ with $\det(\gamma, \gamma', \gamma'') \neq 0$, and if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is a Borel set, then $\dim \pi_{\theta} (A) \geq \min\left\{ 2,\dim A, \frac{ \dim A}{2} + \frac{3}{4}…

Let $\gamma: I \to S^2$ be a $C^2$ curve with $\det(\gamma, \gamma', \gamma'')$ nonvanishing, and for each $\theta \in I$ let $\rho_{\theta}$ be orthogonal projection onto the span of $\gamma(\theta)$. It is shown that if $A \subseteq…

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…

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…

In this paper we study the radial and orthogonal projections and the distance sets of the random Cantor sets $E\subset \mathbb{R}^2 $ which are called Mandelbrot percolation or percolation fractals. We prove that the following assertion…

We establish several optimal estimates for exceptional parameters in the projection of fractal measures: (1) For a parametric family of self-similar measures satisfying a transversality condition, the set of parameters leading to a…

It is shown that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $\dim A>1$, and if $\rho_{\theta}$ is orthogonal projection to the line spanned by $( \cos \theta, \sin \theta, 1 )$, then $\rho_{\theta}(A)$ has positive…

In this paper we use the theory of computing to study fractal dimensions of projections in Euclidean spaces. A fundamental result in fractal geometry is Marstrand's projection theorem, which shows that for every analytic set E, for almost…

We study parametrized families of orthogonal projections for which the dimension of the parameter space is strictly less than that of the Grassmann manifold. We answer the natural question of how much the Hausdorff dimension may decrease by…

Given an integer nonsingular $n\times n$ matrix $M$ and a point $y \in \mathbb{R}^n/\mathbb{Z}^n$, consider the set $\tilde E(M,y)$ of vectors $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $y$ is not a limit point of the sequence $\{M^k x \mod…

This paper contains two results on the dimension and smoothness of radial projections of sets and measures in Euclidean spaces. To introduce the first one, assume that $E,K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ are non-empty Borel sets with…

We make progress on two interrelated problems at the intersection of geometric measure theory, additive combinatorics and harmonic analysis: the discretised sum-product problem, and the dimension of Furstenberg sets. Along the way, we…

We study the orthogonal projections of a large class of self-affine carpets, which contains the carpets of Bedford and McMullen as special cases. Our main result is that if $\Lambda$ is such a carpet, and certain natural irrationality…

Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$ and $0 \leq t \leq 2$. An $(s,t)$-Furstenberg set is a set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ with the following property: there exists a line set $\mathcal{L}$ of Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \mathcal{L} \geq t$…

For $\alpha$ in $(0,1]$, a subset $E$ of $\RR$ is called Furstenberg set of type $\alpha$ or $F_\alpha$-set if for each direction $e$ in the unit circle there is a line segment $\ell_e$ in the direction of $e$ such that the Hausdorff…

This paper investigates a refinement of Marstrand's projection theorem; more specifically, let $\Pi_t, t\in[0,1]$ be a family of $m$ dimensional subspaces of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $P_t:\mathbb{R}^4\mapsto \Pi_t$ be the…

\emph{Fractal percolation} or \emph{Mandelbrot percolation} is one of the most well studied families of random fractals. In this paper we study some of the geometric measure theoretical properties (dimension of projections and structure of…

Intermediate dimensions were recently introduced to interpolate between the Hausdorff and box-counting dimensions of fractals. Firstly, we show that these intermediate dimensions may be defined in terms of capacities with respect to certain…
