Abstract

Borel measures in ℝd are called fractal if locally at a.e. point their Hausdorff and packing dimensions are identical. It is shown that the product of two fractal measures is fractal and almost all projections of a fractal measure into a lower dimensional subspace are fractal. The results rely on corresponding properties of Borel subsets of ℝd which we summarize and develop.
