Abstract: We consider the problem of slicing a compact metric space Omega with sets of the form pi_{lambda}^{-1}{t}, where the mappings pi_{lambda} colon Omega o R, lambda in R, are emph{generalized projections}, introduced by Yuval Peres and Wilhelm Schlag in 2000. The basic question is: assuming that Omega has Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one, what is the dimension of the 'typical' slice pi_{lambda}^{-1}{t}, as the parameters lambda and t vary. In the special case of the mappings pi_{lambda} being orthogonal projections restricted to a compact set Omega subset R^{2}, the problem dates back to a 1954 paper by Marstrand: he proved that for almost every lambda there exist positively many tinR such that dim pi_{lambda}^{-1}{t} = dim Omega - 1. For generalized projections, the same result was obtained 50 years later by J"arvenp"a"a, J"arvenp"a"a and Niemel"a. In this paper, we improve the previously existing estimates by replacing the phrase 'almost all lambda' with a sharp bound for the dimension of the exceptional parameters.
