We prove the following restricted projection theorem. Let $n\ge 3$ and $\Sigma \subset S^{n}$ be an $(n-1)$-dimensional $C^2$ manifold such that $\Sigma$ has sectional curvature $>1$. Let $Z \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be analytic and let $0…

In this paper, we consider the so-called "Furstenberg set problem" in high dimensions. First, following Wolff's work on the two dimensional real case, we provide "reasonable" upper bounds for the problem for $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{F}_p$.…

We consider the $L^p$ mapping properties of maximal averages associated to families of curves, and thickened curves, in the plane. These include the (planar) Kakeya maximal function, the circular maximal functions of Wolff and Bourgain, and…

We generalize a Furstenberg-type result of Orponen-Shmerkin to higher dimensions, leading to an $\epsilon$-improvement in Kaufman's projection theorem for hyperplanes and an unconditional discretized radial projection theorem in the spirit…

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 1997, Thomas Wolff proved sharp $L^3$ bounds for his circular maximal function, and in 1999, Kolasa and Wolff proved certain non-sharp $L^p$ inequalities for a broader class of maximal functions arising from curves of the form…

In this paper we come up with a dual version of the Furstenberg problem and obtain partial results via $L^p$ estimates of orthogonal projections. Examples are also discussed. Moreover, compared with general sets, we find that special…

We prove sharp $L^3$ bounds for a variable coefficient generalization of the Wolff circular maximal function $M^\delta f$. For each fixed radius $r$, $M^\delta f(r)$ is the maximal average of $f$ over the $\delta$--neighborhood of a circle…

We generalize the Fenchel theorem to strong spacelike (which means that the tangent vector and the curvature vector span a spacelike 2-plane at each point) closed curves with index 1 in the 3-dimensional Lorentz space, showing that the…

We consider the problem of bounding the number of exceptional projections (projections which are smaller than typical) of a subset of a vector space over a finite field onto subspaces. We establish bounds that depend on $L^p$ estimates for…

In this paper, we study in prime fields the exceptional set estimates, which can be viewed as a refinement of Marstrand's orthogonal projection theorem. Additionally, we address a Furstenberg-type problem, which is closely related. It is…

Recently Wolff obtained a nearly sharp $L^2$ bilinear restriction theorem for bounded subsets of the cone in general dimension. We obtain the endpoint of Wolff's estimate and generalize to the case when one of the subsets is large. As a…

This article is a study guide for ``On the Hausdorff dimension of Furstenberg sets and orthogonal projections in the plane" by Orponen and Shmerkin. We begin by introducing Furstenberg set problem and exceptional set of projections and…

The problem of $L^p(R^3)\to L^2(S)$ Fourier restriction estimates for smooth hypersurfaces S of finite type in R^3 is by now very well understood for a large class of hypersurfaces, including all analytic ones. In this article, we take up…

We propose to study the restriction conjecture using decoupling theorems and two-ends Furstenberg inequalities. Specifically, we pose a two-ends Furstenberg conjecture, which implies the restriction conjecture. As evidence, we prove this…

We consider certain estimates involving averaging operators over curves and hypersurfaces that can be cast into a combinatorial framework. We show that hypersurfaces with nonzero rotational curvature satisfy the usual restricted weak-type…

We provide exposition into the field of projection theory, which lies at the intersection of incidence geometry and geometric measure theory. We first give the necessary preliminaries in Chapter 2, focusing on incidences between points and…

Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$. A set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a Furstenberg $s$-set, if for every unit vector $e \in S^{1}$, some line $L_{e}$ parallel to $e$ satisfies $$\dim_{\mathrm{H}} [K \cap L_{e}] \geq s.$$ The Furstenberg set problem,…

We make progress on two interrelated problems at the intersection of geometric measure theory, additive combinatorics and harmonic analysis: the discretised sum-product problem, and the dimension of Furstenberg sets. Along the way, we…

Using some resolution of singularities and oscillatory integral methods in conjunction with appropriate damping and interpolation techniques, L^p boundedness theorems for p > 2 are obtained for maximal operators over a wide range of…
