1128. Antongiulio Fornasiero, Philipp Hieronymi, Erik Walsberg How to avoid a compact set E-mail: Submission date: 2 December 2016 Abstract: A first-order expansion of the R-vector space structure on R does not define every compact subset of every R^n if and only if topological and Hausdorff dimension coincide on all closed definable sets. Equivalently, if A ⊆ R^k is closed and the Hausdorff dimension of A exceeds the topological dimension of A, then every compact subset of every R^n can be constructed from A using finitely many boolean operations, cartesian products, and linear operations. The same statement fails when Hausdorff dimension is replaced by packing dimension.
