Abstract

In Rn\mathbb R^n, we parametrize Kakeya sets using Kakeya maps. A Kakeya map is defined to be a map ϕ:Bn1(0,1)×[0,1]Rn,(v,t)(c(v)+tv,t),\phi:B^{n-1}(0,1)\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}, (v,t)\mapsto (c(v)+tv,t), where c:Bn1(0,1)Rn1 c:B^{n-1}(0,1)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n-1}. The associated Kakeya set is defined to be K:=Im(ϕ). K:=\text{Im} (\phi). We show that the Kakeya set KK has positive measure if either one of the following conditions is true. (1) cc is continuous and cSn2Cα(Sn2)c|_{S^{n-2}}\in C^\alpha(S^{n-2}) for some α>(n2)n(n1)2\alpha>\frac{(n-2)n}{(n-1)^2}, (2) cc is continuous and cSn2W1,p(Sn2)c|_{S^{n-2}}\in W^{1,p}(S^{n-2}) for some p>n2p>n-2.
