Generalised Cantor sets and the dimension of products. (English) Zbl 1371.28024

Summary: In this paper we consider the relationship between the Assouad and box-counting dimension and how both behave under the operation of taking products. We introduce the notion of ‘equi-homogeneity’ of a set, which requires a uniformity in the cardinality of local covers at all length-scales and at all points, and we show that a large class of homogeneous Moran sets have this property. We prove that the Assouad and box-counting dimensions coincide for sets that have equal upper and lower box-counting dimensions provided that the set ‘attains’ these dimensions (analogous to ‘\(s\)-sets’ when considering the Hausdorff dimension), and the set is equi-homogeneous. Using this fact we show that for any \(\alpha\in (0, 1)\) and any \(\beta,\gamma\in (0, 1)\) such that \(\beta+\gamma\geq 1\) we can construct two generalised Cantor sets \(C\) and \(D\) such that \(\dim_{B}C = \alpha\beta\), \(\dim_{B}D = \alpha\gamma\), and \(\dim_{A}C = \dim_{A}D = \dim_{A}(C\times D) = \dim_{B}(C\times D) = \alpha\).
