We study a variant of the Falconer distance problem for dot products. In particular, for fractal subsets $A\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $a,x\in \mathbb{R}^n$, we study sets of the form \[ \Pi_x^a(A) := \{\alpha \in \mathbb{R} : (a-x)\cdot y=…

Let $E\subset\rr$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$. We prove that if $\alpha$ is sufficiently close to 1, and if $E$ supports a probabilistic measure obeying appropriate dimensionality and Fourier decay conditions, then $E$…

We study the parabolic variant of the Erd\H os--Falconer distance problem in finite fields. That is, if $q$ is odd, we seek size thresholds beyond which any subset $E\subset \mathbb F_q^2$ will determine many distinct parabolic distances.…

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…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…

Suppose $0 < \alpha \leq n$, $H: \Bbb R^n \to [0,1]$ is a Lebesgue measurable function, and $A_\alpha(H)$ is the infimum of all numbers $C$ for which the inequality $\int_B H(x) dx \leq C R^\alpha$ holds for all balls $B \subset \Bbb R^n$…

The Falconer distance problem for Cartesian product sets was introduced and studied by Iosevich and Liu (\cite{MR3525385}). In this paper, by implementing a new observation on Cartesian product sets associated with a particular parabolic…

A set in d dimensional Euclidean space with d larger than 2 having Hausdorff dimension at least d/2 must have distance set with Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than 1/2.

For a compact set $A$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ the Hausdorff distance from $A$ to $\text{conv}(A)$ is defined by \begin{equation*} d(A):=\sup_{a\in\text{conv}(A)}\inf_{x\in A}|x-a|, \end{equation*} where for $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n$ we…

In this paper, we study the cardinality of the distance set $\Delta(A, B)$ determined by two subsets $A$ and $B$ of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Assuming that $A$ or $B$ lies in a $k$-coordinate plane…

We investigate the Lebesgue measure, Hausdorff dimension, and Fourier dimension of sets of the form $RY + Z, $ where $R \subseteq (0,\infty)$ and $Y, Z \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$. We prove a theorem on the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff…

We prove a new Elekes-Szab\'o type estimate on the size of the intersection of a Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$ with an algebraic surface $\{f=0\}$ over the reals. In particular, if $A,B,C$ are sets of $N$ real numbers and $f$ is a…

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 new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…

We prove that if ${\mathcal E} \subset {\Bbb R}^{2d}$, $d \ge 2$, is an Ahlfors-David regular product set of sufficiently large Hausdorff dimension, denoted by $dim_{{\mathcal H}}({\mathcal E})$, and $\phi$ is a sufficiently regular…

We study the following variant of the Erd\H{o}s distance problem. Given $E$ and $F$ a point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $p = (p_1, \ldots, p_q)$ with $p_1+ \cdots + p_q = d$ is an increasing partition of $d$ define $$ B_p(E,F)=\{(|x_1-y_1|,…

In this paper we construct a new family of sets based on Diophantine approximation in the Euclidean space, and consider their applications in several problems in harmonic analysis. Our first application is on the Hausdorff dimension of our…

It has been recently understood that the harmonic measure on the boundary $E = \partial \Omega$ of a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^{n - 1}$ on $E$ if and only…

We prove that, for every norm on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and every $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, the Hausdorff dimension of the distance set of $E$ with respect to that norm is at least $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} E - (d-1)$. An explicit construction follows,…

The distance set $\Delta(E)$ of a set $E$ consists of all non-negative numbers that represent distances between pairs of points in $E$. This paper studies sparse (less than full-dimensional) Borel sets in $\mathbb R^d$, $d \geq 2$ with a…
