Review text

The authors prove the following: Let \(\mu\) be a finite atomless measure on \(\Omega\subseteq(\mathbb R, \mathcal B)\), where \({\mathcal B} \) is the Borel \(\sigma\)-algebra in \(\mathbb R^m\). Define \(V=\{y\in S^{m-1}: y\) is perpendicular to some hyperplane with \(\mu\)-positive measure\(\}\), where \(S^{m-1}\) denotes the unit sphere in \(\mathbb R^m\). Then \(V\) has Lebesgue measure zero on \(S^{m-1}\). This result extends a previous one due to \textit{M. L. Jones} [Am. Math. Mon. 104, No. 4, 353-355 (1997; Zbl 0891.60007)].
