In this paper, we consider non-normal numbers occurring in dynamical systems fulfilling the specification property. It has been shown that in this case the set of non-normal numbers has measure zero. In the present papers we show that a…
We are interested in situations where the Hausdorff measure and Hausdorff content of a set are equal in the critical dimension. Our main result shows that this equality holds for any subset of a self-similar set corresponding to a…
Let M be a compact 3-manifold whose interior admits a complete hyperbolic structure. We let Lambda(M) be the supremum of the bottom eigenvalue of the Laplacian of N, where N varies over all hyperbolic 3-manifolds homeomorphic to the…
We compute the Hausdorff, upper box and packing dimensions for certain inhomogeneous Moran set constructions. These constructions are beyond the classical theory of iterated function systems, as different nonlinear contraction…
It is known that, unlike the Hausdorff dimension, the Assouad dimension of a self-similar set can exceed the similarity dimension if there are overlaps in the construction. Our main result is the following precise dichotomy for self-similar…
This short note presents a linear algebraic approach to proving dimension lower bounds for linear methods that solve $L^2$ function approximation problems. The basic argument has appeared in the literature before (e.g., Barron, 1993) for…
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 $E$ be a subset of a doubling metric space $(X,d)$. We prove that for any $s\in [0, \dim_{A}E]$, where $\dim_{A}$ denotes the Assouad dimension, there exists a subset $F$ of $E$ such that $\dim_{A}F=s$. We also show that the same…
We consider vanishing properties of exponential sums of the Liouville function $\lambda$ of the form $$ \lim_{H\to\infty}\limsup_{X\to\infty}\frac{1}{\log X}\sum_{m\leq X}\frac{1}{m}\sup_{\alpha\in C}\bigg|\frac{1}{H}\sum_{h\leq…
The irrationality exponent of a real number measures how well that number can be approximated by rationals. Real numbers with irrationality exponent strictly greater than $2$ are transcendental numbers, and form a set with rich fractal…
We say that $E$ is a microset of the compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ if there exist sequences $\lambda_n\geq 1$ and $u_n\in \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $(\lambda_n K + u_n ) \cap [0,1]^d$ converges to $E$ in the Hausdorff metric, and…
Motivated by a classic theorem of Birman and Series about the set of complete simple geodesics on a hyperbolic surface, we study the Hausdorff dimension of the set of endpoints in $\partial F_r$ of some abstract algebraic laminations…
We develop criteria for deciding the contravariant finiteness status of a subcategory $A \subseteq \Lambda\text{-mod}$, where $\Lambda$ is a finite dimensional algebra. In particular, given a finite dimensional $\Lambda$-module $X$, we…
Let $D$ be a regular strictly convex bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$, and consider a regular Jordan curve $\Gamma \subset \partial D$. Then, for each $\epsilon>0$, we obtain the existence of a complete proper minimal immersion…
A slalom is a sequence of finite sets of length omega. Slaloms are ordered by coordinatewise inclusion with finitely many exceptions. Improving earlier results of Mildenberger, Shelah and Tsaban, we prove consistency results concerning…
Let $L$ be a proper differentiation invariant subspace of $C^\infty(a,b)$ such that the restriction operator $\frac{d}{dx}\bigl{|}_L$ has a discrete spectrum $\Lambda$ (counting with multiplicities). We prove that $L$ is spanned by…
In this paper, we consider subsets of an attractor of an iterated function system in which each point is associated with an allowable word from an $S$-gap shift. The main result shows that bounds for the box dimension and Hausdorff…
We show that the Feng-Xiong lower bound of $1/2$ for the box dimension of $\alpha\beta$-sets is tight. We also study how much of an $\alpha\beta$-orbit ``carries the dimension'': deleting an arbitararily small positive density set of times…
We show that, for any $0<\gamma<1/2$, any $(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2$ except on a set with Hausdorff dimension about $\sqrt{\gamma}$, any small $0<\varepsilon<1$ and any large $N\in\mathbb{N}$, the number of integers $n\in[1,N]$ such…
Consider a convex polyhedral robot $B$ that can translate (without rotating) amidst a finite set of non-moving polyhedral obstacles in $\mathbb R^3$. The "free space" $\mathcal F$ of $B$ is the set of all positions in which $B$ is disjoint…
