The study of the geometric structure of measures, as well as the study of geometry from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, geometric measure theory has applications in partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, differential and Riemannian geometry, as well as calculus of variations. Statements ...

Lebesgue measure on normal matrices

Consider the space of $n\times n$ complex matrices, and equip it with its Lebesgue measure $dX$, seen as a $2n^2$-dimensional real vector space [edit: or better, a complex vector space (see the answer ...

Limits to the growth of the volume of a union of spheres

Assume that $x_i$, $i=1,\ldots,m$ are points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with the maximal distance between any two of them being at most $1$. Define $$ a(r)=\mu\Bigl(\bigcup_{i=1}^m B(x_i,r)\Bigr),$$ where ...

Banach-Tarski Paradox on the middle third Cantor set

In analysis and topology, the middle third Cantor set $C$ is often a very interesting topic of discussion. My question is that is it possible to have some sort of measure preserving bijection $f: ...
