Furstenberg sumset conjecture and Mandelbrot percolations

In this paper we extend Hochman and Shmerkin's projection theorem to product measures of Mandelbrot cascades acting on ergodic measures imaged through canonical mappings of one-dimensional iterated function systems without any separation conditions. Consequently we extend Furstenberg sumset theorem to images of subshifts on symbolic spaces, and to Mandelbrot percolations on invariant sets. We also obtain dimension results for convolutions of Bernoulli convolutions and that of Mandelbrot cascade measures.

Projections of Gibbs measures on self-conformal sets

We show that for Gibbs measures on self-conformal sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ $(d\ge2)$ satisfying certain minimal assumptions, without requiring any separation condition, the Hausdorff dimension of orthogonal projections to $k$-dimensional subspaces is the same and is equal to the maximum possible value in all directions. As a corollary we show that Falconer's distance set conjecture holds for this class of self-conformal sets satisfying the open set condition.

The Hausdorff dimension of quasi-circles: a result of Ruelle and Bowen

We provide an expanded and clarified proof of the famous result of Bowen and Ruelle giving an asymptotic formula for the Hausdorff dimension of quasi-circles corresponding to the Julia sets of $f(z)=z^2+c$ for small $c$. The proof does not contain new material but has been rewritten to make it more accessible to MSc or PhD students with an interest in dimension theory.
