Both topics will be based on a construction of Stefan Mazurkiewicz from his 1927 paper containing a solution of a Urysohn's problem in dimension theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-09T17:51:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03E15", "54H05", "28A33", "28A12" ], "keywords": [ "compact sets", "probability measures", "mazurkiewiczs sets", "compact metric spaces", "compact non-uniformly tight sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
