Extract

If П is a k-dimensional vector subspace of Rn and E is a subset of Rn, let projп(E) denote the orthogonal projection of E onto П. Marstrand [8] and Kaufman [6] have developed results on the Hausdorff dimension and measure of projп(E) in terms of the dimension of E, leading to the very general theory of Mattila [11]. In particular, Mattila shows that if the Hausdorff dimension dim E of the Souslin set E is greater than k, then projп(E) has positive k-dimensional Lebesgue measure for almost all П ∈ Gn, k (in the sense of the usual normalized invariant measure on the Grassmann manifold Gn, k of k-dimensional subspaces of Rn).
