Abstract

In this paper, we study the uniform random covering problem in general metric space (X,d)(X,d). Let ω=(ωn)nN\omega=(\omega_n)_{n\in\mathbb N} be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables on (X,μ)(X,\mu), and =(n)nN\ell=(\ell_n)_{n\in\mathbb N} a sequence of positive real numbers. We analyze the size of the set U(ω,)={yX ⁣:N1, 1nN, s.t. d(ωn,y)<N},\mathcal{U}(\omega,\ell)=\left\{y\in X\colon \forall N\gg1,~\exists 1\le n\le N,~s.t. ~d(\omega_n,y)<\ell_N\right\}, and establish the 0-1 law for the Hausdorff dimension of U(ω,)\mathcal{U}(\omega,\ell), its measure and the event U(ω,)=X\mathcal{U}(\omega,\ell)=X. Some sufficient conditions are provided for U(ω,)\mathcal{U}(\omega,\ell) to have full measure or be countable almost surely. Furthermore, we employ the local dimension of μ\mu to estimate the Hausdorff dimension of U(ω,)\mathcal{U}(\omega,\ell). While prior work by Koivusalo, Liao and Persson ( Int. Math. Res. Not. 2023) addressed the case of the torus T\mathbb{T}, we apply our results to the dd-dimensional torus Td\mathbb{T}^d, and explicit analysis of the Hausdorff dimension in a critical case is given.
