Large sets with small injective projections

Abstract: Let

e l l_{1}, e l l_{2}, d o t s

be a countable collection of lines in

{m a t h b b R}^{d}

. For any

t i n [0, 1]

we construct a compact set

G a m m a s u b s e t {m a t h b b R}^{d}

with Hausdorff dimension

d - 1 + t

which projects injectively into each

e l l_{i}

, such that the image of each projection has dimension

t

. This immediately implies the existence of homeomorphisms between certain Cantor-type sets whose graphs have large dimensions. As an application, we construct a collection

E

of disjoint, non-parallel

k

-planes in

m a t h b b R^{d}

, for

d g e q k + 2

, whose union is a small subset of

m a t h b b R^{d}

, either in Hausdorff dimension or Lebesgue measure, while

E

itself has large dimension. As a second application, for any countable collection of vertical lines

w_{i}

in the plane we construct a collection of nonvertical lines

H

, so that

F

, the union of lines in

H

, has positive Lebesgue measure, but each point of each line

w_{i}

intersects at most one

h i n H

and, for each

w_{i}

, the Hausdorff dimension of

F c a p w_{i}

is zero.
