More generally, we show that for any $0 < \\alpha \\le k$, if $B \\subset {\\mathbb R}^n$ and $E$ is a nonempty collection of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of ${\\mathbb R}^n$ such that every $P \\in E$ intersects $B$ in a set of Hausdorff dimension at least $\\alpha$, then $\\dim B \\ge 2 \\alpha - k + \\min(\\dim E, 1)$, where $\\dim$ denotes the Hausdorff dimension. As a consequence, we generalize the well known Furstenberg-type estimate that every $\\alpha$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension at least $2 \\alpha$; we strengthen a theorem of Falconer and Mattila; and we show that for any $0 \\le k<n$, if a set $A \\subset {\\mathbb R}^n$ contains the $k$-skeleton of a rotated unit cube around every point of ${\\mathbb R}^n$, or if $A$ contains a $k$-dimensional affine subspace at a fixed positive distance from every point of ${\\mathbb R}^n$, then the Hausdorff dimension of $A$ is at least $k + 1$.","PeriodicalId":48484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fractal Geometry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1000,"publicationDate":"2017-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4171/JFG/77","citationCount":"24","resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":null,"PeriodicalName":"Journal of Fractal Geometry","FirstCategoryId":"100","ListUrlMain":"https://doi.org/10.4171/JFG/77","RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":null,"EPubDate":"","PubModel":"","JCR":"Q1","JCRName":"MATHEMATICS","Score":null,"Total":0}
