In this paper, we prove the identity $\dim_{\textrm H}(F)=d\cdot \dim_{\textrm H}(\alpha^{-1}(F))$, where $\dim_{\textrm H}$ denotes Hausdorff dimension, $F\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, and $\alpha:[0,1]\to [0,1]^d$ is a function whose…

In this paper, we characterize the rectifiability (both uniform and not) of an Ahlfors regular set, E, of arbitrary co-dimension by the behavior of a regularized distance function in the complement of that set. In particular, we establish a…

We study the Falconer distance set problem in Euclidean space and obtain improved dimensional estimates under natural Fourier analytic assumptions cast in terms of the Fourier dimension and spectrum. Interestingly, under reasonably mild…

\emph{Fractal percolation} or \emph{Mandelbrot percolation} is one of the most well studied families of random fractals. In this paper we study some of the geometric measure theoretical properties (dimension of projections and structure of…

We show that if $f:X\to Y$ is a quasisymmetric mapping between Ahlfors regular spaces, then $\dim_H f(E)\leq\dim_H E$ for "almost every" bounded Ahlfors regular set $E\subseteq X$. If additionally, $X$ and $Y$ are Loewner spaces then…

A classical theorem due to Mattila (see \cite{Mat84}; see also \cite{M95}, Chapter 13) says that if $A,B \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension $s_A, s_B$, respectively, with $s_A+s_B \ge d$, $s_B>\frac{d+1}{2}$ and $dim_{{\mathcal…

Motivated by applications in number theory, analysis, and fractal geometry, we consider regularity properties and dimensions of graphs associated with Fourier series of the form $F(t)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)e^{2\pi i nt}/n$, for a large…

It is proved that given $-1/2<s<1/2$, for any $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$, there is a unique $u\in \widehat{H}^{|s|}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $$ f=\boldsymbol{D}^{-s}u+\boldsymbol{D}^{s*}u\,, $$ where $\boldsymbol{D}^{-s}, \boldsymbol{D}^{s*}$ are…

A variant of the Falconer distance problem asks for fixed $k\geq 1$ and $d\geq k+1$, how large does the Hausdorff dimension of a Borel set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ need to be to guarantee that there exist $x_0,\ldots,x_{k}\in E$ such that…

We prove that if $E\subseteq \R^2$ is analytic and $1<d < \dim_H(E)$, there are ``many'' points $x\in E$ such that the Hausdorff dimension of the pinned distance set $\Delta_x E$ is at least $d\left(1 -…

Dimensions of level sets of generic continuous functions and generic H\"older functions defined on a fractal $F$ encode information about the geometry, ``the thickness" of $F$. While in the continuous case this quantity is related to a…

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ is greater than 7/4, then the set of {\ag three-point configurations determined by $E$ has positive three-dimensional measure}. We establish this by showing…

In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…

An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold $\alpha>0$ such that $|\Delta(E)| \gtrsim q$ whenever $|E| \gtrsim q^{\alpha}$, where $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector…

Let $1 \leq k \leq d$ and consider a subset $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In this paper, we study the problem of how large the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ must be in order for the set of distinct noncongruent $k$-simplices in $E$ (that is,…

Using ultraproduct techniques we define a nonstandard Minkowski dimension which exists for all bounded sets and which has the property that $\dim(A\times B)=\dim(A)+\dim(B).$ That is, our new dimension is product-summable. To illustrate our…

The Hausdorff dimension of the graphs of the functions in H\"older and Besov spaces (in this case with integrability p \geq 1) on fractal d-sets is studied. Denoting by s \in (0,1] the smoothness parameter, the sharp upper bound…

We show that for any compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ the visible part of $E$ has Hausdorff dimension at most $d-1/6$ for almost every direction. This improves recent estimates of Orponen and Matheus. If $E$ is $s$-Ahlfors regular, where…

We establish the dimension version of Falconer's distance set conjecture for sets of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension (in particular, for Ahlfors-regular sets) in all ambient dimensions. In dimensions $d=2$ or $3$, we obtain the first…

We consider four related problems. (1) Obtaining dimension estimates for the set of exceptional vantage points for the pinned Falconer distance problem. (2) Nonlinear projection theorems, in the spirit of Kaufman, Bourgain, and Shmerkin.…
