Abstract of the lecture:
As a mathematical model for turbulence, Mandelbrot introduced the so-called fractal percolation Cantor sets (also called Mandelbrot percolation Cantor sets) in the 1970s. These are random subsets of the unit cube $K=[0,1]^d$ which are generated as follows: We partition $K$ into $M^d$ cubes $K_{i_1,\dots,i_d}$ of side length $1/M$ and we assign to each of them a retention-probability $p_{i_1,\dots,i_d}$. That is each cubes $K_{i_1,\dots,i_d}$ are retained with probability $p_{i_1,\dots,i_d}$ and discarded with probability $1-p_{i_1,\dots,i_d}$ independently. The union of these level-1 cubes forms the first approximation $E_1$ of the fractal percolation Cantor set $E$. Then we repeat this process in every cube retained in the previous step. The union of the cubes (of side length $1/M^2$) retained in the second step $E_2$ is the second approximation of the fractal percolation Cantor set. We construct the $n$-th approximation $E_n$ in the same way. It happens with a positive probability that $E_n$ is empty. Then $\{E_n\}$ is a nested sequence of compact sets. Their intersection is the fractal percolation Cantor set $E$. If all the probabilities $p_{i_1,\dots,i_d}$ are the same then $E$ is called homogeneous otherwise $E$ is inhomogeneous.
We study the projections of $E$ to lower dimensional planes and the intersections of $E$ with lower dimensional planes. Due to the many interesting results of the recent years on this field, we have a good understanding of the projections and slices of the fractal percolation Cantor sets in the homogeneous case but our understanding is far from complete in the inhomogeneous case.
