Abstract

Let 0s10 \leq s \leq 1, and let P:={(t,t2)R2:t[1,1]}\mathbb{P} := \{(t,t^{2}) \in \mathbb{R}^{2} : t \in [-1,1]\}. If KPK \subset \mathbb{P} is a closed set with dimHK=s\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K = s, it is not hard to see that dimH(K+K)2s\dim_{\mathrm{H}} (K + K) \geq 2s. The main corollary of the paper states that if 0<s<10 < s < 1, then adding KK once more makes the sum slightly larger: dimH(K+K+K)2s+ϵ,\dim_{\mathrm{H}} (K + K + K) \geq 2s + \epsilon, where ϵ=ϵ(s)>0\epsilon = \epsilon(s) > 0. This information is deduced from an L6L^{6} bound for the Fourier transforms of Frostman measures on P\mathbb{P}. If 0<s<10 < s < 1, and μ\mu is a Borel measure on P\mathbb{P} satisfying μ(B(x,r))rs\mu(B(x,r)) \leq r^{s} for all xPx \in \mathbb{P} and r>0r > 0, then there exists ϵ=ϵ(s)>0\epsilon = \epsilon(s) > 0 such that μ^L6(B(R))6R2(2s+ϵ) \|\hat{\mu}\|_{L^{6}(B(R))}^{6} \leq R^{2 - (2s + \epsilon)} for all sufficiently large R1R \geq 1. The proof is based on a reduction to a δ\delta-discretised point-circle incidence problem, and eventually to the (s,2s)(s,2s)-Furstenberg set problem.
