For 0 < s
n let
s be the class of G
-subsets of Rn such that F
s if
has Hausdorff dimension at least s for all sequences of similarity transformations
. We show that
s is closed under countable intersections and under bi-Lipschitz functions, and thus is the maximal class of G
-sets of Hausdorff dimension at least s that is closed under countable intersection and similarities. We also show that sets in
s must have packing dimension n. Many examples of
s-sets occur in Diophantine approximation.
