Abstract
Besicovitch showed that a compact set in which contains a unit line segment in every direction can have measure . These constructions also work over other metric spaces like the -adics and profinite integers. It is conjectured that it is impossible to construct sets with measure which contain a unit -disk in every direction in . We prove that over the -adics and profinite integers any set which contains a 2-flat in every direction must have positive measure. The main ingredients are maximal Kakeya estimates for proven in [Dha22] and adapting Fourier analytic arguments of Oberlin [Obe05]. In general, we prove to estimates for the maximal operator corresponding to -flats.
