For $0 \leq s \leq 1$ and $0 \leq t \leq 3$, a set $F \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is called a circular $(s,t)$-Furstenberg set if there exists a family of circles $\mathcal{S}$ of Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \mathcal{S} \geq t$ such…

We show that the Hausdorff dimension of $(s,t)$-Furstenberg sets is at least $s+t/2+\epsilon$, where $\epsilon>0$ depends only on $s$ and $t$. This improves the previously best known bound for $2s<t\le 1+\epsilon(s,t)$, in particular…

We fully resolve the Furstenberg set conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^2$, that a $(s, t)$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension $\ge \min(s+t, \frac{3s+t}{2}, s+1)$. As a result, we obtain an analogue of Elekes' bound for the discretized…

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…

Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$ and $0 \leq t \leq 2$. An $(s,t)$-Furstenberg set is a set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ with the following property: there exists a line set $\mathcal{L}$ of Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \mathcal{L} \geq t$…

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…

In this note we study the behavior of the size of Furstenberg sets with respect to the size of the set of directions defining it. For any pair $\alpha,\beta\in(0,1]$, we will say that a set $E\subset \R^2$ is an $F_{\alpha\beta}$-set if…

We show that if $B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $E \subset A(n,k)$ is a nonempty collection of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that every $P \in E$ intersects $B$ in a set of Hausdorff dimension at least $\alpha$ with…

We prove that for any $1 \le k<n$ and $s\le 1$, the union of any nonempty $s$-Hausdorff dimensional family of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of ${\mathbb R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $k+s$. More generally, we show that for any $0 <…

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…

It is known that in $\mathbb{R}^n,n\geq 2$, a compact set which contains $n-1$ spheres with all radii in $[1/2,1]$ or with all possible centres in $[0,1]^n$ has full Hausdorff dimension. In fact the later set has positive Lebesgue measure.…

Let us consider a sphere $S^{n-1}$ of radius $r$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where we have fixed poles $N$ and $S$. Suppose that $K$ is a set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ containing a translated copy of each meridian (that is an $S^{n-2}$-sphere) of $S^{n-1}$.…

By applying a 2014 result on the distribution of full cylinders, we give a proof of the useful folklore: for any $\beta>1$, the Hausdorff dimension of an arbitrary set in the shift space $S_\beta$ is equal to the Hausdorff dimension of its…

We study several distinct but related Fourier analytic variants of the well-known Kakeya and Furstenberg set problems in the plane. For example, given $0<s,t<1$, we call a set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ an $(s,t)$-Kakeya set if there exists…

A $(1,2t)$-Furstenberg set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is naturally defined as a set containing a union of unit line segments forming a $2t$-dimensional subset of the affine Grassmannian in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and satisfying a suitable variant of the…

We prove that if $\alpha\in (0,1/2]$, then the packing dimension of a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ for which there exists a set of lines of dimension $1$ intersecting $E$ in dimension $\ge \alpha$ is at least $1/2+\alpha+c(\alpha)$ for some…

In this paper we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of singular pairs is 4/3. We also show that the action of diag(e^t,e^t,e^{-2t}) on SL(3,R)/SL(3,Z) admits divergent trajectories that exit to infinity at arbitrarily slow…

We give lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimensions of some model Furstenberg sets.

In this survey we collect and discuss some recent results on the so called "Furstenberg set problem", which in its classical form concerns the estimates of the Hausdorff dimension of planar sets containing, for any direction, a subset of an…

We prove that any Besicovitch set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ must have Hausdorff dimension at least $5/2+\epsilon_0$ for some small constant $\epsilon_0>0$. This follows from a more general result about the volume of unions of tubes that satisfy the…
