We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the set $\mathbf{x}\in [0,1)^d$, such that $$ \left|\sum_{n=1}^N \exp\left(2 \pi i\left(x_1n+\ldots+x_d n^d\right)\right) \right|\ge c N^{1/2} $$ holds for infinitely many natural numbers $N$, is at…
In this paper we prove some lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of sets of Furstenberg type. Moreover, we extend these results to sets of generalized Furstenberg type, associated to doubling dimension functions. With some additional…
We use recent advances on the discretized sum-product problem to obtain new bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of planar $(\alpha,2\alpha)$-Fursterberg sets. This provides a quantitative improvement to the $2\alpha+\epsilon$ bound of…
We show that given $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ there is a constant $c=c(\alpha) > 0$ such that any planar $(\alpha, 2\alpha)$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension at least $2\alpha + c$. This improves several previous bounds, in particular…
We prove a version of Bourgain's projection theorem for parametrized families of $C^2$ maps, that refines the original statement even in the linear case. As one application, we show that if $A$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension close to…
Under mild conditions we show that the affinity dimension of a planar self-affine set is equal to the supremum of the Lyapunov dimensions of self-affine measures supported on self-affine proper subsets of the original set. These self-affine…
We develop quantitative algorithmic information bounds for orthogonal projections and distances in the plane. Under mild independence conditions, the distance $|x-y|$ and a projection coordinate $p_e x$ each retain at least half the…
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…
Optimal quasiconformal dimension distortions bounds for subsets of the complex plane have been established by Astala. We show that these estimates can be improved when one considers subsets of the real line of arbitrary Hausdorff dimension.…
The purpose of this paper is to complete the proof of the following result. Let $0 < \beta \leq \alpha < 1$ and $\kappa > 0$. Then, there exists $\eta > 0$ such that whenever $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ are Borel sets with $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A…
We investigate the box dimensions of compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that contain a unit distance in every direction (such sets may have zero Hausdorff dimension). Among other results, we show that the lower box dimension must be at least…
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,…
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…
The Hausdorff distance is a measure of (dis-)similarity between two sets which is widely used in various applications. Most of the applied literature is devoted to the computation for sets consisting of a finite number of points. This has…
We improve the best known lower bound for the dimension of radial projections of sets in the plane. We show that if $X,Y$ are Borel sets in $\R^2$, $X$ is not contained in any line and $\dim_H(X)>0$, then $$\sup\limits_{x\in X} \dim_H(\pi_x…
We extend a result, due to Mattila and Sjolin, which says that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ contains…
We obtain positive lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of sets of real numbers given by expressions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{a_n b_n}$, where $b_n$ satisfies some growth condition and $a_n$ lies in some set, possibly…
In a series of recent preprints, we have proven that with probability one the Hausdorff dimension on the outer boundary of planar Brownian motion is 4/3, confirming a conjecture by Mandelbrot. It is also shown that the Hausdorff dimension…
We study the problem of reconstructing and predicting the future of a dynamical system by the use of time-delay measurements of typical observables. Considering the case of too few measurements, we prove that for Lipschitz systems on…
Let $s \in [0,1]$. We show that a Borel set $N \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ whose every point is linearly accessible by an $s$-dimensional family of lines has Hausdorff dimension at most $2 - s$.
