Fractal transference principles for subsets of $\mathbb{N}^d$ of positive density
Abstract
We establish a multidimensional fractal transference principle for digit-restricted sets associated with subsets of , extending the one-dimensional framework of Nakajima--Takahasi, Adv. Math. (2025). We develop general Hausdorff-dimension tools via the singular value potential and the multivariate Dirichlet series . Let and . We obtain , where denotes the set of points whose continued-fraction digit vectors lie in and whose coordinates escape (i.e.\ for each ), and for uniformly --balanced . In particular, if has positive upper (or upper Banach) density then . On the combinatorial side, the transference principle ensures that translation-invariant configurations forced at positive density, including multidimensional Szemer\'edi patterns, persist inside the induced fractal digit sets.
