Given $E \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d \times \mathbb{F}_q^d$, with the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q$ and the integer $d \ge 2$, we define the two-parameter distance set as $\Delta_{d, d}(E)=\left\{\left(\|x_1-y_1\|,…
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.…
Let $A$ be a compact set in $\mathbb{R}$, and $E=A^d\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. We know from the Mattila-Sj\"olin's theorem if $\dim_H(A)>\frac{d+1}{2d}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)$ has non-empty interior. In this paper, we show that the…
Hausdorff dimension results are a classical topic in the study of path properties of random fields. This article presents an alternative approach to Hausdorff dimension results for the sample functions of a large class of self-affine random…
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 $E$…
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 prove that the spacetime singular set of any suitable Leray-Hopf solution of the surface quasigeostrophic equation with fractional dissipation of order $0< \alpha < \frac{1}{2}$ has Hausdorff dimension at most $\frac{1}{2\alpha^2}\,.$…
Let $f\in \mathbb{R}[x, y, z]$ be a quadratic polynomial that depends on each variable and that does not have the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$. Let $A, B, C$ be compact sets in $\mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $\dim_H(A)+\dim_H(B)+\dim_H(C)>2$, then…
Marstrand's celebrated projection theorem gives the Hausdorff dimension of the orthogonal projection of a Borel set in Euclidean space for almost all orthogonal projections. It is straightforward to see that sets for which the Fourier and…
We say that $E$ is a microset of the compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ if there exist sequences $\lambda_n\geq 1$ and $u_n\in \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $(\lambda_n K + u_n ) \cap [0,1]^d$ converges to $E$ in the Hausdorff metric, and…
In this note we give an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of removable setsfor elliptic and canceling homogeneous differential operators with constant coefficients in the class of bounded functions, using a simple extension of…
Let $w=(w_1,\dots,w_d)$ be a $d$-tuple of positive real numbers such that $\sum_{i}w_i =1$ and $w_1\geq \cdots \geq w_d$. A $d$-dimensional vector $x=(x_1,\dots,x_d)\in\mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be $w$-singular if for every $\epsilon>0$ there…
We use Kolmogorov complexity methods to give a lower bound on the effective Hausdorff dimension of the point (x, ax+b), given real numbers a, b, and x. We apply our main theorem to a problem in fractal geometry, giving an improved lower…
An improved a.e. lower bound is given for Hausdorff dimension under vertical projections in the first Heisenberg group.
Let $k$ be a natural number. We consider $k$-times continuously-differentiable real-valued functions $f:E\to\mathbb{R}$, where $E$ is some interval on the line having positive length. For $0<\alpha<1$ let $I_\alpha(f)$ denote the set of…
We provide quantitative estimates for the supremum of the Hausdorff dimension of sets in the real line which avoid $\varepsilon$-approximations of arithmetic progressions. Some of these estimates are in terms of Szemer\'{e}di bounds. In…
Let $\{x\_n\}\_{n\geq 0}$ be a sequence of $[0,1]^d$, $\{\lambda\_n\} \_{n\geq 0}$ a sequence of positive real numbers converging to 0, and $\delta>1$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1]^d$, $\rho\in (0,1]$ and $\alpha>0$.…
The Hausdorff dimension of a set can be detected using the Riesz energy. Here, we consider situations where a sequence of points, $\{x_n\}$, ``fills in'' a set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ in an appropriate sense and investigate the degree to…
An improved a.e. lower bound is given for Hausdorff dimension under vertical projections in the first Heisenberg group, with respect to the Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric. This improves the known lower bound, and answers a question of…
We show for a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 4$, that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is larger than $\frac{2}{3}d+1$, then the set of congruence classes of triangles formed by triples of points of $E$ has nonempty…
