Extract

Let Em and En be orthogonal Euclidean spaces of dimensions m and n respectively and with the origin of each as their only common point. In a previous paper (3) I gave what was intended to be a proof of the relation

where the dimension of A, dim A, is the Besicovitch dimension, i.e. the number s such that the Hausdorff measure in any dimension greater than s is zero whilst that in any dimension less than s is infinite, where A and B are subsets of En and Em respectively and where A × B is the Cartesian product of A with B.
