We prove that the Fourier transform of self-similar measures on the complex plane has fast decay outside of a very sparse set of frequencies, with quantitative estimates, extending the results obtained in the real line, first by R. Kaufman,…

Let C : y^2=f(x) be a hyperelliptic curve defined over the rationals. Let K be a number field and suppose f factors over K as a product of irreducible polynomials f=f_1 f_2...f_r. We shall define a "Selmer set" corresponding to this…

The notion of Riesz sets tells us that a support of Fourier transform of a measure with non-trivial singular part has to be large. The notion of Rajchman sets tells us that if the Fourier transform tends to zero at infinity outside a small…

Many results in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory ensure the existence of geometric configurations under the largeness of sets, which are sometimes specified via the ball condition and Fourier decay. Recently,…

Freiman's theorem asserts, roughly speaking, if that a finite set in a torsion-free abelian group has small doubling, then it can be efficiently contained in (or controlled by) a generalised arithmetic progression. This was generalised by…

Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…

We give a simple proof of the fact that there exist measures on the real line of discrete support, whose Fourier Transform is also a measure of discrete support, yet this Fourier pair cannot be constructed by repeatedly applying the Poisson…

In its usual form, Freiman's 3k-4 theorem states that if A and B are subsets of the integers of size k with small sumset (of size close to 2k) then they are very close to arithmetic progressions. Our aim in this paper is to strengthen this…

We prove that the Fourier transform of a self conformal measure on $\mathbb{R}$ decays to $0$ at infinity at a logarithmic rate, unless the following holds: The underlying IFS is smoothly conjugated to an IFS that both acts linearly on its…

We extend earlier results of Azzam on the dimension drop of the harmonic measure for a domain $\Omega\subset \R^{n}$ with $n\geq 3$, with dimensional Ahlfors regular boundary $\partial\Omega$ of dimension $s$ with $n-1-\delta_0 \leq s\leq…

In this paper we quantify the notion of antisymmetry of the Fourier transform of certain vector valued measures. The introduced scale is related to the condition appearing in Uchiyama's theorem and is used to give a lower bound for the…

Let $r_k(n)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subset \{1,2, \dots, n \}$ such that $A$ does not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. In this paper, we give a method of constructing such a set and prove the lower bound…

We construct functions in the disc algebra with pointwise universal Fourier series on sets which are G-delta and dense and at the same time with Fourier series whose set of divergence is of Hausdorff dimension zero. We also see that some…

Let $d,k$ be natural numbers and let $\mathcal{L}_1, \dots, \mathcal{L}_k \in \mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{Q})$ be linear transformations such that there are no non-trivial subspaces $U, V \subseteq \mathbb{Q}^d$ of the same dimension satisfying…

We use techniques from the study of the Falconer distance conjecture to explore conditions which guarantee largeness (in terms of bounded $L^2$ density/Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff measure) of the set of lengths of step-sizes of…

We give a sufficient condition for the Fourier dimension of a countable union of sets to equal the supremum of the Fourier dimensions of the sets in the union, and show by example that the Fourier dimension is not countably stable in…

This paper relates to the Fourier decay properties of images of self-similar measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^k$ under nonlinear smooth maps $f \colon \mathbb{R}^k \to \mathbb{R}$. For example, we prove that if the linear parts of the…

Erd\H{o}s showed that every set of $n$ positive integers contains a subset of size at least $n/(k+1)$ containing no solutions to $x_1 + \cdots + x_k = y$. We prove that the constant $1/(k+1)$ here is best possible by showing that if $(F_m)$…

We show that self-conformal subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ that do not satisfy the weak separation condition have full Assouad dimension. Combining this with a recent results by K\"aenm\"aki and Rossi we conclude that an interesting dichotomy…

We prove a no-dimensional version of Carath\'edory's theorem: given an $n$-element set $P\subset \Re^d$, a point $a \in \conv P$, and an integer $r\le d$, $r \le n$, there is a subset $Q\subset P$ of $r$ elements such that the distance…
