Abstract

We show that fractal percolation sets in Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} almost surely intersect every hyperplane absolutely winning (HAW) set with full Hausdorff dimension. In particular, if ERdE\subset\mathbb{R}^{d} is a realization of a fractal percolation process, then almost surely (conditioned on EE\neq\emptyset), for every countable collection (fi)iN\left(f_{i}\right)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} of C1C^{1} diffeomorphisms of Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}, dimH(E(iNfi(BAd)))=dimH(E)\dim_{H}\left(E\cap\left(\bigcap_{i\in\mathbb{N}}f_{i}\left(\text{BA}_{d}\right)\right)\right)=\dim_{H}\left(E\right), where BAd\text{BA}_{d} is the set of badly approximable vectors in Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}. We show this by proving that EE almost surely contains hyperplane diffuse subsets which are Ahlfors-regular with dimensions arbitrarily close to dimH(E)\dim_{H}\left(E\right). We achieve this by analyzing Galton-Watson trees and showing that they almost surely contain appropriate subtrees whose projections to Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} yield the aforementioned subsets of EE. This method allows us to obtain a more general result by projecting the Galton-Watson trees against any similarity IFS whose attractor is not contained in a single affine hyperplane. Thus our general result relates to a broader class of random fractals than fractal percolation.
