Regularity versus smoothness of measures (Q2046723)

The authors prove that smooth Borel probability measures on a compact metric space are regular in the sense of Assouad and lower dimension. If we control the density of the measure from above and below we get good estimates on the spectrum of the Assouad and lower dimension. The dimension estimates given are shown to be sharp. On the other hand is is shown that regular measures in the sense of Assouad dimension need not be smooth. The results constitute an interesting contribution to dimension theory and geometric measure theory.
