We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Uniformly distributed measures in Euclidean spaces
Bernd Kirchheim and David Preiss
Abstract
Uniformly distributed measures naturally occur as blow-ups (or tangent measures) of measures having densities. Here we consider the local behaviour of such measures in Euclidean spaces. In particular, we show that the support of such a measure is always an analytic variety, which is even algebraic provided that the measure of the whole space is finite. As an application we obtain a simple proof of the remarkable result by Marstrand on the non-existence of densities for fractal dimensions.
