1.1. Thickness. Let E be a real inner product space. For a finite sequence of points a0, . . . ,ak in E we let a0. . . ,ak denote the convex hull of the set {a0, . . . , ak}. If these points are affinely independent, the set Δ = a0. . .ak is a k-simplex with vertices a0. . . ,ak. It has a well-defined k-volume written as mk(Δ) or briefly as m(Δ). We are interested in sets A ⊂ E which are “nowhere too flat in dimension k”. More precisely, suppose that A ⊂ E, q > 0 and that k: is a positive integer. We let denote the closed ball with center x and radius r. We say that A is (q, k)-thick if for each x ∈ A and r> 0 such that A\ ≠ there is a k-simplex Δ with vertices in A ∩ such that mk(Δ) ≥ qr .
