Abstract

We prove that a compact metric space (or more generally an analytic subset of a complete separable metric space) of Hausdorff dimension bigger than k can always be mapped onto a k-dimensional cube by a Lipschitz map. We also show that this does not hold for arbitrary separable metric spaces.

As an application, we essentially answer a question of Urbański by showing that the transfinite Hausdorff dimension (introduced by him) of an analytic subset A of a complete separable metric space is ⌊dimHA⌋ if dimHA is finite but not an integer, dimHA or dimHA−1 if dimHA is an integer and at least ω0 if Graphic.
