Dynamics of the scenery flow and geometry of measures

We employ the ergodic-theoretic machinery of scenery flows to address classical geometric measure-theoretic problems on Euclidean spaces. Our main results include a sharp version of the conical density theorem, which we show to be closely linked to rectifiability. Moreover, we show that the dimension theory of measure-theoretical porosity can be reduced back to its settheoretic version, that Hausdorff and packing dimensions yield the same maximal dimension for porous and even mean porous measures, and that extremal measures exist and can be chosen to satisfy a generalized notion of self-similarity. These are sharp general formulations of phenomena that had been earlier found to hold in a number of special cases.Fil: Käenmäki, Antti. Universidad de Jyvaskyla; FinlandiaFil: Sahlsten, Tuomas.
