In 1994, J.Cobb described a Cantor set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ each of whose projections into 2-planes is one-dimensional. A series of works by other authors developing this field followed. We present another very simple series of Cantor sets in…

In 1994, John Cobb asked: given $N>m>k>0$, does there exist a Cantor set in $\mathbb R^N$ such that each of its projections into $m$-planes is exactly $k$-dimensional? Such sets were described for $(N,m,k)=(2,1,1)$ by L.Antoine (1924) and…

Let $\mathcal C$ be the Cantor set. For each $n\geqslant 3$ we construct an embedding $A: \mathcal C \times \mathcal C \to \mathbb R^n$ such that $A(\mathcal C \times \{s\})$, for $s\in\mathcal C$, are pairwise ambiently incomparable…

A Cantor set is a non-empty, compact set that has neither interior nor isolated points. In this paper a Cantor set $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is constructed such that every set definable in $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\cdot,K)$ is Borel. In addition, we…

We prove that any two countable, compact, subsets of $\mathbb{S}^n, n\geq 2$ that are homeomorphic also have homeomorphic complements. Thus any wild subspace like the classical construction of Antoine must contain a Cantor set.

It is well known that a pair of compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d \in \mathbb{N}$) can be separated by small deformations if the sum of their upper box dimensions is less than $d$. In this paper, we demonstrate that this dimension…

Let $\ell_1,\ell_2,\dots$ be a countable collection of lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$. For any $t \in [0,1]$ we construct a compact set $\Gamma\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $d-1+t$ which projects injectively into each $\ell_i$,…

Below, by space we mean a separable metrizable zero-dimensional space. It is studied when the space can be embedded in a Cantor set while maintaining the algebraic structure. Main results of the work: every space is an open retract of a…

In this note we provide a quasisymmetric taming of uniformly perfect and uniformly disconnected sets that generalizes a result of MacManus from 2 to higher dimensions. In particular, we show that a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is…

Let $X = [0,1]^{n}$, $n \geq1$. We show that the typical (in the sense of Baire category) compact subset of $X$ is not only a zero dimensional Cantor space but it satisfies the property of being strongly microscopic, which is stronger than…

The ternary Cantor set $C$, constructed by George Cantor in 1883, is probably the best known example of a perfect nowhere-dense set in the real line, but as we will see later, it is not the only one. The present article we will explore the…

By a Cantor group we mean a topological group homeomorphic to the Cantor set. We show that a compact metric space of rational cohomological dimension $n$ can be obtained as the orbit space of a Cantor group action on a metric compact space…

We study the geometry of dynamically defined Cantor sets in arbitrary dimensions, introducing a criterion for $\mathcal{C}^{1+\alpha}$ stable intersections of such Cantor sets, under a mild bunching condition. This condition is naturally…

We show that for all Cantor set $K_1$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$, it is always possible to find another Cantor set $K_2$ so that the sum $g(K_1)+ K_2$ (where $g$ is a $C^1$ local diffeomorphism) has non-empty interior, and the existence of the…

The ternary Cantor set $C$, constructed by George Cantor in 1883, is probably the best-known example of a perfect nowhere-dense set in the real line, but as we will see later, it is not the only one. The present article will delve into the…

Solving R.J. Daverman's problem, V. Krushkal described sticky Cantor sets in $\mathbb R^N$ for $N\geqslant 4$; these sets cannot be isotoped off of itself by small ambient isotopies. Using Krushkal sets, we answer a question of J.W. Cannon…

We prove the theorem stated in the title. This answers a question of John Cobb (1994). We also consider the case of the Hilbert space $\ell _2$.

A classical theorem of Alexandroff states that every $n$-dimensional compactum $X$ contains an $n$-dimensional Cantor manifold. This theorem has a number of generalizations obtained by various authors. We consider extension-dimensional and…

We construct a geometrically self-similar Cantor set $X$ of genus $2$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This construction is the first for which the local genus is shown to be $2$ at every point of $X$. As an application, we construct, also for the first…

We determine the constructive dimension of points in random translates of the Cantor set. The Cantor set "cancels randomness" in the sense that some of its members, when added to Martin-Lof random reals, identify a point with lower…
