We show that an Antoine's necklace can serve as an example of a Cantor set all of whose projections are one-dimensional and connected. We prove that each Cantor set in $\\mathbb R^n$, $n\\geqslant 3$, can be moved by a small ambient isotopy so that the projection of the resulting Cantor set into each $(n-1)$-plane is $(n-2)$-dimensional. We show that if $X\\subset \\mathbb R^n$, $n\\geqslant 2$, is a zero-dimensional compactum whose projection into some plane $\\Pi\\subset \\mathbb R^n$ with $\\dim \\Pi \\in \\{1, 2, n-2, n-1\\}$ is zero-dimensional, then $X$ is tame; this extends some particular cases of the results of D.R.McMillan, Jr. (1964) and D.G.Wright, J.J.Walsh (1982). We use the technique of defining sequences which comes back to Louis Antoine.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-05T16:34:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54F45", "57N15", "57M30" ], "keywords": [ "high-dimensional projections", "tame cantor set", "small ambient isotopy", "one-dimensional", "antoines necklace" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
