Improving upon a technique of Croot and Hart, we show that for every $h$, there exists an $\epsilon > 0$ such that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is sufficiently large and $|A.A| \le |A|^{1+\epsilon}$, then $|hA| \ge…

We show that for any finite set $A$ and an arbitrary $\varepsilon>0$ there is $k=k(\varepsilon)$ such that the higher energy ${\mathsf{E}}_k(A)$ is at most $|A|^{k+\varepsilon}$ unless $A$ has a very specific structure. As an application we…

Given a set P of n points in |R^d, an eps-kernel K subset P approximates the directional width of P in every direction within a relative (1-eps) factor. In this paper we study the stability of eps-kernels under dynamic insertion and…

We prove that if $A$ is a Borel set in the plane of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension $s>1$, then the set of pinned distances $\{ |x-y|:y\in A\}$ has full Hausdorff dimension for all $x$ outside of a set of Hausdorff dimension $1$ (in…

Let $ (H_s(n))_{n \geq 1} $ be an $s-$dimensional generalized Halton's sequence. Let $\emph{D}^{*}_N$ be the discrepancy of the sequence $ (H_s(n) )_{n = 1}^{N} $. It is known that $D^{*}_{N} =O(\ln^s N)$ as $N \to \infty $. In this paper,…

We prove a version of the Erd\H{o}s--Beck Theorem from discrete geometry for fractal sets in all dimensions. More precisely, let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ Borel and $k \in [0, n-1]$ be an integer. Let $\dim (X \setminus H) = \dim X$ for every…

Let $1 \leq m < s \leq n$ and let $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a Borel set of with $s$-dimensional Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^s(A) > 0$. The classical Marstrand slicing theorem states that, for almost every $m$-dimensional subspace $V…

Let $q,d\geq 2$ be integers. Define $$ J(q,d):=\frac 1q \Big( \min_{0<x<1} \frac{1-x^q}{1-x} x^{-\frac{q-1}{d}}\Big). $$ Let $\mbox{$\cal G$}\subseteq {\mathbb R}^n$ be an arbitrary subset. We denote by $d(\mbox{$\cal G$})$ the set of…

There is a constant c > 0 such that for every $\epsilon \in (0,1)$ and $n \geq 1/\epsilon^2$, the following holds. Any mapping from the $n$-point star metric into $\ell_1^d$ with bi-Lipschitz distortion $1+\epsilon$ requires dimension $$d…
