The ‘analysis on fractals’ and ‘analysis on metric spaces’ communities have tended to work independently. Metric spaces such as the Sierpinski carpet fail to satisfy some of the properties which are generally assumed for metric spaces. This survey discusses analysis on the Sierpinski carpet, with particular emphasis on the properties of the heat kernel. 1. Background and history Percolation was...

Erdős space E is the ‘rational’ Hilbert space, that is the set of vectors in ` the coordinates of which are all rational. Erdős proved that E is one-dimensional and homeomorphic to its own square E × E, which makes it an important example in dimension theory. Dijkstra and van Mill found topological characterizations of E. Let M n , n ∈ N, be the n-dimensional Menger continuum in R, also known a...
