A celebrated result due to Wolff says if $E$ is a compact subset of ${\Bbb R}^2$, then the Lebesgue measure of the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ is positive if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is greater than $\frac{4}{3}$.…
The authors have recently obtained a lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension of the sets of vectors $(x_1, \ldots, x_d)\in [0,1)^d$ with large Weyl sums, namely of vectors for which $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp(2\pi i (x_1 n+\ldots +x_d…
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 $\theta$ be a finitely supported probability measure on $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$, and suppose that the semigroup generated by $\mathcal{G}:=\mathrm{supp}(\theta)$ is strongly irreducible and proximal. Let $\mu$ denote the Furstenberg…
Let $S \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ be contained in the unit ball. Let $\Delta(S)=\{||a-b||:a,b \in S\}$, the Euclidean distance set of $S$. Falconer conjectured that the $\Delta(S)$ has positive Lebesque measure if the Hausdorff dimension of $S$…
Recurrence problems are fundamental in dynamics, and for example, sizes of the set of points recurring infinitely often to a target have been studied extensively in many contexts. For example, the problem of finding the dimension for…
Let $A\sub \R^{n+r}$ be a set definable in an o-minimal expansion $\S$ of the real field, $A' \sub \R^r$ be its projection, and assume that the non-empty fibers $A_a \sub \R^n$ are compact for all $a \in A'$ and uniformly bounded, {\em…
In this paper, we give improved bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of pinned distance sets of planar sets with dimension strictly less than one. As the planar set becomes more regular (i.e., the Hausdorff and packing dimension become…
In this article we calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(\Phi )=\left\{ x\in \lbrack 0,1):\begin{aligned}a_{n+1}(x)a_n(x) \geq \Phi(n) \ {\rm for \ infinitely \ many \ } n\in \mathbb N \ {\rm and } \\…
Previous work has shown that the Hausdorff dimension of sofic affine-invariant sets is expressed as a limit involving intricate matrix products. This limit has typically been regarded as incalculable. However, in several highly non-trivial…
Our aim is to find the minimal Hausdorff dimension of the union of scaled and/or rotated copies of the $k$-skeleton of a fixed polytope centered at the points of a given set. For many of these problems, we show that a typical arrangement in…
Let a planar residual set be a set obtained by removing countably many disjoint topological disks from an open set in the plane. We prove that the residual set of a planar packing by curves that satisfy a certain lower curvature bound has…
It is well known that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an analytic set of Hausdorff dimension $a$, then $\dim_H(\pi_VA)=\min\{a,k\}$ for a.e.\ $V\in G(n,k)$, where $G(n,k)$ denotes the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$…

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 $2 - s$.
We investigate the Hausdorff dimension of level sets defined by digit growth rates in $\theta$-expansions, a generalization of regular continued fractions. For any $\alpha \geq 0$, we prove that the set \[ E_\theta(\alpha) = \left\{ x \in…
We prove essentially sharp incidence estimates for a collection of $\delta$-tubes and $\delta$-balls in the plane, where the $\delta$-tubes satisfy an $\alpha$-dimensional spacing condition and the $\delta$-balls satisfy a…
Singular vectors are those for which the quality of rational approximations provided by Dirichlet's Theorem can be improved by arbitrarily small multiplicative constants. We provide an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of singular…
We prove the following conjecture of Furstenberg (1969): if $A,B\subset [0,1]$ are closed and invariant under $\times p \mod 1$ and $\times q \mod 1$, respectively, and if $\log p/\log q\notin \mathbb{Q}$, then for all real numbers $u$ and…
We show that, almost surely, the Hausdorff dimension $s_0$ of a random covering set is preserved under all orthogonal projections to linear subspaces with dimension $k>s_0$. The result holds for random covering sets with a generating…
