Sparse block-Jacobi matrices with arbitrarily accurate Hausdorff dimension

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the spectral measure of a class of deterministic, i.e. nonrandom, block-Jacobi matrices may be determined with any degree of precision, improving a result of Zlatos [Andrej Zlatos,.

WHICH TOPOLOGIES HAVE IMMEDIATE PREDECESSORS IN THE POSET OF HAUSDORFF TOPOLOGIES?

We study which topology have an immediate predecessor in the poset of Sigma(2) of Hausdorff topologies on set X. We show that certain classes of H-closed topologies, do have predecessors. and we give examples of second countable H-closed topologies which are not upper Sigma(2.)
