We prove the existence of similar and multi-similar point configurations (or simplexes) in sets of fractional Hausdorff measure in Euclidean space. These results can be viewed as variants, for thin sets, of theorems for sets of positive…
We study the regularity of weak solutions to a certain class of second order parabolic system under the only assumption of continuous coefficients. By using the $A-$caloric approximation argument, we claim that the weak solution $u$ to such…
The purpose of this note is to record a consequence, for general metric spaces, of a recent result of David Bate. We prove the following fact: Let $X$ be a compact metric space of topological dimension $n$. Suppose that the $n$-dimensional…
We prove a structure theorem for any $n$-rectifiable set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 1$, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite $H^n$ ($n$-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that…
We repurpose tools from the theory of quantitative rectifiability to study the qualitative rectifiability of measures in $\Bbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$. To each locally finite Borel measure $\mu$, we associate a function $\widetilde J_2(\mu, x)$…
In this note it is shown that if $\mu$ is an $n$-Ahlfors regular measure in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ such that the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform is bounded in $L^2(\mu)$ and the so-called BAUPP (bilateral approximation by unions of parallel…
We investigate extremal problems for hypergraphs satisfying the following density condition. A $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V, E)$ is $(d, \eta,P_2)$-dense if for any two subsets of pairs $P$, $Q\subseteq V\times V$ the number of pairs…
We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$ is greater than $\frac{d}{2}+\frac{1}{3}$, the set of gaps of $2$-chains inside $E$, $$\Delta_2(E)=\{(|x-y|, |y-z|): x, y, z\in E \}\subset\mathbb{R}^2$$ has…
This article studies typical 1-Lipschitz images of $n$-rectifiable metric spaces $E$ into $\mathbb{R}^m$ for $m\geq n$. For example, if $E\subset \mathbb{R}^k$, we show that the Jacobian of such a typical 1-Lipschitz map equals 1…
We generalize a classical theorem of Besicovitch, showing that, for any positive integers $k<n$, if $E\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a Souslin set which is not $\mathcal{H}^k$-$\sigma$-finite, then $E$ contains a purely unrectifiable closed set…
We show that there exist $(d-1)$ - Ahlfors regular compact sets $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}, d\geq 2$ such that for any $t< d-1$, we have \[ \sup_T \frac{\mathcal{H}^{d-1}(E\cap T)}{w(T)^t}<\infty \] where the supremum is over all tubes $T$…
We show that for any set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive upper density and any $\ell,m \in \mathbb{N}$, there exist an infinite set $B\subset \mathbb{N}$ and some $t\in \mathbb{N}$ so that $\{mb_1 + \ell b_2 \colon b_1,b_2\in B\…
For 0<n<d integers and r>2, we prove that an n-dimensional Ahlfors-David regular measure M in R^d is uniformly n-rectifiable if and only if the r-variation for the Riesz transform with respect to M is a bounded operator in L^2(M). This…
The classical Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem implies that the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a set in Euclidean space with non-negligible d-unrectifiable part will strictly decrease under orthogonal projection onto almost every…
We confirm a conjecture posed by Bergelson, Moreira, and Richter (arXiv:1711.05729), and in particular show that for every probability measure preserving system $(X,\mathscr{B},\mu,T)$, every $k\in \mathbb{N}$, every set $A\in \mathscr{B}$…
Let $A(\cdot)$ be an $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ uniformly elliptic matrix with H\"older continuous real coefficients and let $\mathcal E_A(x,y)$ be the fundamental solution of the PDE $\mathrm{div} A(\cdot) \nabla u =0$ in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$. Let…
Determining the minimum density of a covering of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by Euclidean unit balls as $n\to\infty$ is a major open problem, with the best known results being the lower bound of $\left(\mathrm{e}^{-3/2}+o(1)\right)n$ by Coxeter, Few…
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 if $\Om \subseteq \R^2$ is bounded and $\R^2 \setminus \Om$ satisfies suitable structural assumptions (for example it has a countable number of connected components), then $W^{1,2}(\Om)$ is dense in $W^{1,p}(\Om)$ for every…
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…
