Abstract:
We show that for every $s \in [n - 2,n]$ there exists a homogeneously embedded wild Cantor set ${C^s}$ in $\mathbb {R}^n, n \geq 3$, of (local) Hausdorff dimension $s$. Also, it is shown that for every $s \in [n - 2,n]$ and for any integer $k \ne n$ such that $1 \leq k \leq s$, there exist everywhere wild $k$-spheres and $k$-cells, in $\mathbb {R}^n, n \geq 3$, of (local) Hausdorff dimension $s$.References
