The idea is to examine how a measure is distributed in small balls. Finding conditions that guarantee the measure to be effectively spread out in different directions is a classical question going back to Besicovitch (1938) and Marstrand (1954). Classically, conical density theorems deal with the distribution of the Hausdorff measure. The process of taking blow-ups of a measure around a point induces a natural dynamical system called the scenery flow. Relying on this dynamics makes it possible to apply ergodic-theoretical methods to understand the statistical behavior of tangent measures. This approach was initiated by Furstenberg (1970, 2008) and greatly developed by Hochman (2010). The scenery flow is a well-suited tool to address problems concerning conical densities. In this survey, we demonstrate how to develop the ergodic-theoretical machinery around the scenery flow and use it to study conical density theorems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-06T12:45:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80", "37A10", "28A75", "28A33" ], "keywords": [ "scenery flow", "study conical density theorems", "address problems concerning conical densities", "geometric measure theory", "conical density theorems deal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
