These spectra often reveal novel features not witnessed by the individual notions and this information has applications in many directions. In this survey article, we discuss dimension interpolation broadly and then focus on applications to the dimension theory of orthogonal projections. We focus on three distinct applications coming from three different dimension spectra, namely, the Fourier spectrum, the intermediate dimensions, and the Assouad spectrum. The celebrated Marstrand-Mattila projection theorem gives the Hausdorff dimension of the orthogonal projection of a Borel set in Euclidean space for almost all orthogonal projections. This result has inspired much further research on the dimension theory of projections including the consideration of dimensions other than the Hausdorff dimension, and the study of the exceptional set in the Marstrand-Mattila theorem.</p>","PeriodicalId":48561,"journal":{"name":"Research in the Mathematical Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11890391/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143598044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
