A theorem of Steinhaus states that if $E\subset \mathbb R^d$ has positive Lebesgue measure, then the difference set $E-E$ contains a neighborhood of $0$. Similarly, if $E$ merely has Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathcal H}(E)>(d+1)/2$, a…

For $ E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, let $\Delta(E)$ denote the distance set determined by pairs of points in $E$. By using additive energies of sets on a paraboloid, Koh, Pham, Shen, and Vinh (2020) proved that if $E,F\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d $…

By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In…

Let $s\in (0,1)$, and let $F\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a self similar set such that $0 < \dim_H F \leq s$ . We prove that there exists $\delta= \delta(s) >0$ such that if $F$ admits an affine embedding into a homogeneous self similar set $E$…

We show that if $E \i \R^n$ is a Reifenberg flat set $E$ of dimension $d$ at scale $r_0$, we can find a smooth surface $\Sigma_0$ of dimension $d$ which is close to $E$ at the scale $r_0$. When $E$ is a Reifenberg flat set, this allows us…

Utilising recent advances in incidence geometry for balls and tubes, and advances in sum-product theory in the discrete setting, we show that for $0 < s \leq 1/2$ and for any $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ with Hausdorff dimension $s$, either the…

We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…

By considering a Moran-type construction of fractals on $[0,1]$, we show that for any $0\le s\le 1$, there exists some Moran fractal set, which is perfect, with Hausdorff dimension $s$ whose Fourier dimension is zero and it contains…

For a Borel set E in R^n, the total Menger curvature of E, or c(E), is the integral over E^3 (with respect to 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure in each factor of E) of c(x,y,z)^2, where 1/c(x,y,z) is the radius of the circle passing through…

We propose a counting dimension for subsets of Z and prove that, under certain conditions on two such subsets E and F, for Lebesgue almost every real \lambda\ the counting dimension of E+[\lambda F] is at least the minimum between 1 and the…

Let $E \subseteq R^n$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$. For $m \geq n$, let $\{B_1,\ldots,B_k\}$ be $n \times (m-n)$ matrices. We prove that if the system of matrices $B_j$ is non-degenerate in a suitable sense, $\alpha$ is…

In this paper, we consider the so-called "Furstenberg set problem" in high dimensions. First, following Wolff's work on the two dimensional real case, we provide "reasonable" upper bounds for the problem for $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{F}_p$.…

Given $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, define the \emph{volume set} of $E$, ${\mathcal V}(E)= \{det(x^1, x^2, ... x^d): x^j \in E\}$. In $\R^3$, we prove that ${\mathcal V}(E)$ has positive Lebesgue measure if either the Hausdorff dimension of…

Let $\varphi$ be a smooth conservative diffeomorphism of a compact surface $S$ and let $\Lambda$ be a mixing horseshoe of $\varphi$. Given a smooth real function $f$ defined on $S$, we define for points $\eta$ in the unstable Cantor set of…

Given an infinite group $G$ and a subset $A$ of $G$ we let $\Delta(A) = \{g \in G \,:\, |gA \cap A| =\infty\}$ (this is sometimes called the \emph{combinatorial derivation} of $A$). A subset $A$ of $G$ is called: \emph{large} if there…

In this work we will show that if $F$ is a positive integer, then the set ${\mathrm{Arf}}(F)=\{S\mid S \mbox{ is an Arf numerical semigroup with Frobenius number } F\}$ verifies the following conditions: 1) $\Delta(F)=\{0,F+1,\rightarrow\}$…

It is a folk conjecture that for alpha > 1/2 there is no alpha-Hoelder surface in the subRiemannian Heisenberg group. Namely, it is expected that there is no embedding from an open subset of R^2 into the Heisenberg group that is Hoelder…

Let $R=\mathbb{F}_p[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ and let $\mathbf{F}$ be the ring of Frobenius operators over $R$. We introduce a notion of Bernstein dimension and multiplicity for the class of finitely generated $\mathbf{F}$-modules whose structure…

Let G be a non-elementary, finitely generated Kleinian group, Lambda(G) its limit set and Omega(G) = S \ Lambda(G) (S = the sphere) its set of discontinuity. Let delta(G) be the critical exponent for the Poincar\'e series and let Lambda_c…

In this note we connect Sobolev estimates in the context of polynomial averages e.g. \[ \| \int_0^1 \prod_{k=1}^m f_k(x-t^k) \|_{1} \leq \text{Const} \cdot 2^{-\text{const} \cdot l} \prod_{i=1}^m \| f_k \|_m \] whenever some $f_i$ vanishes…
