What is $3/2$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the graph of Brownian motion?

It is well-known, and well-documented, that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of regular $1$-dimensional Brownian motion is $3/2$ (almost surely). See for example Theorem 4.29 in "Brownian ...

Existence of an $\alpha$-Hölder continuous function whose graph has positive Hausdorff measure of maximal dimension

It is standard that if $f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is $\alpha$-Hölder continuous, then its graph has Hausdorff dimension at most $2-\alpha$. My naive expectation was that "most" graphs ...

Fractal sets and dimensions

Can we construct two sets $E$ and $F$ meeting the following criteria $\dim_H(E) = \dim_H(F) = \dim_H(E ∩ F)$ $\dim_P(E), \dim_P(F)$, and $\dim_P(E ∩ F)$ are distinct? Here $\dim_H$ denotes the ...

Direct proof that the set of badly approximable numbers have full Hausdorff dimension without using Schmidt games

A badly approximable number is an $x$ for which there is a positive constant $c$ such that for all rational $p/q$ we have $$\left|{ x - \frac{p}{q} }\right| > \frac{c}{q^2} \ . $$ The set of badly ...
