Abstract
This paper studies the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of isotropic projections of subsets of ℝ2n, as well as dimension of intersections of sets with isotropic planes. It is shown that if A and B are Borel subsets of ℝ2n of dimension greater than m, then for a positive measure set of isotropic m-planes, the intersection of the images of A and B under orthogonal projections onto these planes have positive Hausdorff m-measure. In addition, if A is a measurable set of Hausdorff dimension greater than m, then there is a set B ⊂ ℝ2n with dim B ⩽ m such that for all x ∈ ℝ2n\B there is a positive measure set of isotropic m-planes for which the translate by x of the orthogonal complement of each such plane, intersects A on a set of dimension dim A – m. These results are then applied to obtain analogous results on the nth Heisenberg group.
