Dimension of the intersection of certain Cantor sets in the plane

In this paper we consider a retained digits Cantor set \(T\) based on digit expansions with Gaussian integer base. Let \(F\) be the set all \(x\) such that the intersection of \(T\) with its translate by \(x\) is non-empty and let \(F_{\beta}\) be the subset of \(F\) consisting of all \(x\) such tha...

description In this paper we consider a retained digits Cantor set \(T\) based on digit expansions with Gaussian integer base. Let \(F\) be the set all \(x\) such that the intersection of \(T\) with its translate by \(x\) is non-empty and let \(F_{\beta}\) be the subset of \(F\) consisting of all \(x\) such that the dimension of the intersection of \(T\) with its translate by \(x\) is \(\beta\) times the dimension of \(T\). We find conditions on the retained digits sets under which \(F_{\beta}\) is dense in \(F\) for all \(0\leq\beta\leq 1\). The main novelty in this paper is that multiplication the Gaussian integer base corresponds to an irrational (in fact transcendental) rotation in the complex plane.
