The Besicovitch projection theorem states that if a subset $E$ of the plane has finite length in the sense of Hausdorff measure and is purely unrectifiable (so its intersection with any Lipschitz graph has zero length), then almost every…

Given a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{d - 1}$, $d \geq 1$, write $K_{E} := [0,1] \times E \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$. A theorem of C. Bishop and J. Tyson states that any set of the form $K_{E}$ is minimal for conformal dimension: if…

We consider several classical results related to the Hausdorff dimension of exceptional sets of orthogonal projections and try to find out whether they have reasonable formulations in terms of packing dimension. We also investigate the…

Given positive integers $\ell<n$ and a real $d\in (\ell,n)$, we construct sets $K\subset \mathbb R^n$ with positive and finite Hausdorff $d-$measure such that the Radon-Nikodym derivative associated to all projections on $\ell-$dimensional…

We study the arithmetic structure of the exceptional set of projections. For any bounded subset $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $$ \Omega=\{\xi\in \mathbb{R}: \dim_B(E+\xi E)=\dim_B E\}. $$ We prove that either $\Omega=\{0\}$ or $\Omega$ is a…

We prove a Kaufman-type exceptional set estimate for sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that have optimal oracles, a class of sets that strictly contains the analytic sets and sets with equal Hausdorff and packing dimension. As a consequence, we…

We prove a universal projection theorem, giving conditions on a parametrized family of maps $\Pi_\lambda : X \to \mathbb{R}^d$ and a collection M of measures on X under which for almost every $\lambda$ equality $\dim_H \Pi_\lambda \mu =…

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…

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…

Marstrand's theorem states that applying a generic rotation to a planar set $A$ before projecting it orthogonally to the $x$-axis almost surely gives an image with the maximal possible dimension $\min(1, \dim A)$. We first prove, using the…

We prove that a purely unrectifiable self-similar set of finite 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure in the plane, satisfying the Open Set Condition, has radial projection of zero length from every point.

Let $\mu$ be a planar self-similar measure with similarity dimension exceeding $1$, satisfying a mild separation condition, and such that the fixed points of the associated similitudes do not share a common line. Then, we prove that the…

We prove the following variant of Marstrand's theorem about projections of cartesian products of sets: Consider the space $\Lambda_m=\set{(t,O), t\in\R, O\in SO(m)}$ with the natural measure and set…

Let $F \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$, and let $\dim_{\mathrm{A}}$ stand for Assouad dimension. I prove that $\dim_{\mathrm{A}} \pi_{e}(F) \geq \min\{\dim_{\mathrm{A}} F,1\}$ for all $e \in S^{1}$ outside of a set of Hausdorff dimension zero. This…

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 be a compact set in the plane, g be a K-quasiconformal map, and let 0<t<2. Then H^t (E) = 0 implies H^{t'} (g E) = 0, for t'=[2Kt]/[2+(K-1)t]. This is a refinement of a set of inequalities on the distortion of Hausdorff dimensions by…

In this paper we study the connection between the analytic capacity of a set and the size of its orthogonal projections. More precisely, we prove that if $E\subset \mathbb C$ is compact and $\mu$ is a Borel measure supported on $E$, then…

We establish Marstrand-type as well as Besicovich-Federer-type projection theorems for closest-point projections onto hyperplanes in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In particular, we prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is…

Let $1 \leq m < s \leq n$ and let $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a Borel set of with $s$-dimensional Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^s(A) > 0$. The classical Marstrand slicing theorem states that, for almost every $m$-dimensional subspace $V…

We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…
