This thesis presents the strong and weak forms of the Banach-Tarski paradox based on the Hausdorff paradox. It provides modernized proofs of the paradoxes and necessary properties of equidecomposable and paradoxical sets. The historical…
We give a popular account of the Banach-Tarski paradox and its connections with the axiom of choice.
We show some results related to the classical Banach-Tarski paradox in the setting of finite-dimensional normed spaces over a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. For instance, all balls and spheres in $K^n$, and the whole space $K^n$ (for…
We prove some results related to the classical Banach--Tarski paradox in the setting of a field $\mathbb{K}$ that is complete with respect to a discrete non-Archimedean valuation (e.g., when $\mathbb{K}$ is the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of…
In 1924, S. Banach and A. Tarski proved an astonishing, yet rather counterintuitive paradox: given a solid ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$, it is possible to partition it into finitely many pieces and reassemble them to form two solid balls, each…
Muchnik's paradox says that enumerable betting strategies are not always reducible to enumerable strategies whose bets are restricted to either even rounds or odd rounds. In other words, there are outcome sequences x where an effectively…
We give an "elementary" proof of an inequality due to Maz'ya. As a prerequisite we prove an approximation property for the Hausdorff measure. We also comment on the relations between Maz'ya's inequality, the isoperimetric inequality and the…
The famous Banach-Tarski paradox claims that the three dimensional rotation group acts on the two dimensional sphere paradoxically. In this paper, we generalize their result to show that the classical group acts on the flag manifold…
Basic properties of Hausdorff content, dimension, and measure of subsets of metric spaces are discussed, especially in connection with Lipschitz mappings and topological dimension.
We show some results about the Hausdorff dimension of particular minimal but not uniquely ergodic interval exchange transformations. There is an appendix which shows that typical points for two different ergodic measures of an interval…
Given a compact basic semi-algebraic set we provide a numerical scheme to approximate as closely as desired, any finite number of moments of the Hausdorff measure on the boundary of this set. This also allows one to approximate interesting…
We give a simple criterion on the set of probability tangent measures $\mathrm{Tan}(\mu,x)$ of a positive Radon measure $\mu$, which yields lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of $\mu$. As an application, we give an elementary and…
The paradoxes of thermodynamics and statistical physics are unavoidable in the study of physical paradoxes because of their importance at the time they came to be as well as the frequency of their appearance in historical studies of…
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox is considered in a relation to a measurement of an arbitrary quantum system . It is shown that the EPR paradox always appears in a gedanken experiment with two successively joined measuring devices.
In this article we define a minor relation, which is stronger than the classical one, but too strong to become a well-quasi-order on the class of finite graphs. Nevertheless, with this terminology we are able to introduce a conjecture,…
We present a purely elementary proof that the Rauzy gasket has Hausdorff dimension strictly smaller than two.
We begin with a brief treatment of Hausdorff measure and Hausdorff dimension. We then explain some of the principal results in Diophantine approximation and the Hausdorff dimension of related sets, originating in the pioneering work of…
We are going to introduce a new algebraic, analytic structure that is a kind of generalization of the Hausdorff dimension and measure. We give many examples and study the basic properties and relations of such systems.
We review the motivation and fundamental properties of the Hausdorff dimension of metric spaces and illustrate this with a number of examples, some of which are expected and well-known. We also give examples where the Hausdorff dimension…
We investigate the computational complexity of computing the Hausdorff distance. Specifically, we show that the decision problem of whether the Hausdorff distance of two semi-algebraic sets is bounded by a given threshold is complete for…
