Abstract

Let ERE\subset \mathbb{R} be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension α(0,1)\alpha\in (0, 1). Let P:RRP: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R} be a polynomial without a constant term whose degree is bigger than one. We prove that if EE supports a probability measure satisfying certain dimension condition and Fourier decay condition, then EE contains three points x,x+t,x+P(t)x, x+t, x+P(t) for some t>0t>0. Our result extends the one of Laba and the third author to the polynomial setting, under the same assumption. It also gives an affirmative answer to a question in Henriot, Laba and the third author.
