Let $Asubseteq mathbbR$ be Lebesgue-measurable and let $0<alpha<1$ be its Hausdorff dimension.




For a given $0<beta <alpha$ can we find a subset $Bsubset A$ with Hausdorff dimension $beta$?




In case this is true, could you provide a reference for this statement?



Added: Actually I am happy if $A$ is borel and compact.

          Here is a partial answer. First of all, $dim_H (A) = alpha$ iff $ H^k(A)=infty$ for all $k<beta$ and $H^k(A) = 0$ for all $k>beta$. Then $H^alpha(A) = infty$ for all $alpha in (0,beta)$. If $A$ is closed then by Theorem 5.4 from The Geometry of Fractal Sets by Falconer there is a compact $Ksubset A$ such that $0<H^alpha(K)<infty$.

          The answer is yes under the additional assumption that the set is compact and I do not know what happens in the general case. The result is a consequence of the following one, see [1] and references therein.




          Theorem. If a compact set $AsubsetmathbbR^n$ has non-$sigma$-finite measure $mathcalH^beta$, then there us a
          subset $Bsubset A$ such that $0<mathcalH^beta<infty$.

            I actually have a question (which is the reason why I wrote that my answer is partial): in the OP it is assumed that $A$ is Lebesgue measurable. Strictly saying this does not imply that $A$ is Borel, so it is not immediate that the result we both eventually refer to can be used (if $A$ were Borel or at least Souslin then yes).

            @Skeeve Good point. I do not know what happens in general, but perhaps the compact case is sufficient for the needs of OP. Let's hear from him. I will changes my answer to emphasize that it only answers the compact case. By the way you know a lot of geometric measure theory so you should be more active :) There are not too many of us.

          @Skeeve Good point. I do not know what happens in general, but perhaps the compact case is sufficient for the needs of OP. Let's hear from him. I will changes my answer to emphasize that it only answers the compact case. By the way you know a lot of geometric measure theory so you should be more active :) There are not too many of us.
