We show that if compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension larger than $\frac{d}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$, where $d\geq 4$ is an even integer, then the distance set of $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This improves the previously…

We provide estimates for the dimensions of sets in $\mathbb{R}$ which uniformly avoid finite arithmetic progressions. More precisely, we say $F$ uniformly avoids arithmetic progressions of length $k \geq 3$ if there is an $\epsilon>0$ such…

The Falconer conjecture asserts that if E is a planar set with Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than 1, then its Euclidean distance set has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. We discuss the analogous question with the Euclidean…

In this paper, we study the metrical theory of Cartesian products of exact approximation sets in $\beta$-expansions. More precisely, for an integer $d \ge 2$ and real numbers $\beta_i > 1$ $(1 \le i \le d)$, we consider the set of points…

We consider the problem of computing the (two-sided) Hausdorff distance between the unit $\ell_{p_{1}}$ and $\ell_{p_{2}}$ norm balls in finite dimensional Euclidean space for $1 \leq p_1 < p_2 \leq \infty$, and derive a closed-form formula…

Let X= {X_t, t \ge 0} be a continuous time random walk in an environment of i.i.d. random conductances {\mu_e \in [1, \infty), e \in E_d}, where E_d is the set of nonoriented nearest neighbor bonds on the Euclidean lattice Z^d and d\ge 3.…

In this paper we continue the study of critical sets of solutions $u_\e$ of second-order elliptic equations in divergence form with rapidly oscillating and periodic coefficients. In \cite{Lin-Shen-3d}, by controling the "turning" of…

To measure the shape similarity of point sets, various notions of the Hausdorff distance under translation are widely studied. In this context, for an $n$-point set $P$ and $m$-point set $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we consider the task of…

We prove a multidimensional weighted analogue of the well-known theorem of Kurzweil (1955) in the metric theory of inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation. Let $A$ be matrix of real numbers, $\Psi$ an $n$-tuple of monotonic decreasing…

In this paper, we study the metrical theory of the growth rate of digits in L\"{u}roth expansions. More precisely, for $ x\in \left( 0,1 \right] $, let $ \left[ d_1\left( x \right) ,d_2\left( x \right) ,\cdots \right] $ denote the…

In this article we introduce the notion of badly approximable matrices of higher order using higher sucessive minima in $\mathbb R^d$. We prove that for order less than $d$, they have Lebesgue measure zero and the gaps between them still…

We show that for Gibbs measures on self-conformal sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ $(d\ge2)$ satisfying certain minimal assumptions, without requiring any separation condition, the Hausdorff dimension of orthogonal projections to $k$-dimensional…

Denoting the Hausdorff dimension of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian with coupling $\lambda$ by $\mathrm{HD}_\lambda$, we prove that for all but countably many $\lambda$, the Hausdorff dimension of the spectrum of the square Fibonacci Hamiltonian…

For a decreasing real valued function $\psi$, a pair $(A,\mathbf{b})$ of a real $m\times n$ matrix $A$ and $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}^m$ is said to be $\psi$-Dirichlet improvable if the system $$\|A\mathbf{q}+\mathbf{b}-\mathbf{p}\|^m <…

The paper investigates various $p$-adic versions of Littlewood's conjecture, generalizing a set-up considered recently by de Mathan and Teulie. In many cases it is shown that the sets of exceptions to these conjectures have Hausdorff…

Let $T\colon\mathbb{T}^d\to \mathbb{T}^d$, defined by $T x=Ax(\bmod 1)$, where $A$ is a $d\times d$ integer matrix with eigenvalues $1<|\lambda_1|\le|\lambda_2|\le\dots\le|\lambda_d|$. We investigate the Hausdorff dimension of the…

In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…

We provide quantitative estimates for the supremum of the Hausdorff dimension of sets in the real line which avoid $\varepsilon$-approximations of arithmetic progressions. Some of these estimates are in terms of Szemer\'{e}di bounds. In…

Let $I=[0,1)$, $-1<\lambda<1$ and $f\colon I\to I$ be a piecewise $\lambda$-affine map of the interval $I$, i.e., there exist a partition $0=a_0<a_1<\cdots< a_{k-1}<a_k=1$ of the interval $I$ into $k\geq2$ subintervals and $b_1,\ldots,…

In this paper we construct a new family of sets based on Diophantine approximation in the Euclidean space, and consider their applications in several problems in harmonic analysis. Our first application is on the Hausdorff dimension of our…
