We prove that if $A$ is a Borel set in the plane of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension $s>1$, then the set of pinned distances $\{ |x-y|:y\in A\}$ has full Hausdorff dimension for all $x$ outside of a set of Hausdorff dimension $1$ (in…

We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…

For $S_g(x,y)=x-g(y), x,y\in\mathbb{R}^n, g\in O(n),$ we investigate the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff dimension of $S_g(A)$ given the dimension of $A$, both for general Borel subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ and for product sets.

This paper is concerned with restricted families of projections in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ be a Borel set with Hausdorff dimension $\dim K = s > 1$. If $\mathcal{G}$ is a smooth and sufficiently well-curved…

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 $S^{n-1}$.…

We obtain new lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar Borel sets of dimension slightly larger than $1$, improving recent estimates of Keleti and Shmerkin, and of Liu in this regime. In…

We establish the dimension version of Falconer's distance set conjecture for sets of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension (in particular, for Ahlfors-regular sets) in all ambient dimensions. In dimensions $d=2$ or $3$, we obtain the first…

A Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a compact set that contains a unit line segment $I_e$ in each direction $e \in S^{n-1}$. The Kakeya conjecture states that any Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $n$. We consider a…

I prove that the visible parts of a compact set in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n \geq 2$, have Hausdorff dimension at most $n - \tfrac{1}{50n}$ from almost every direction.

We study the Falconer distance set problem in Euclidean space and obtain improved dimensional estimates under natural Fourier analytic assumptions cast in terms of the Fourier dimension and spectrum. Interestingly, under reasonably mild…

We prove a version of Bourgain's projection theorem for parametrized families of $C^2$ maps, that refines the original statement even in the linear case. As one application, we show that if $A$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension close to…

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…

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…

It is shown that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $\dim A>1$, and if $\rho_{\theta}$ is orthogonal projection to the line spanned by $( \cos \theta, \sin \theta, 1 )$, then $\rho_{\theta}(A)$ has positive…

For Borel subsets A and B of the Euclidean n-space the intersection of A with generic rotations and translations of B has often Hausdorff dimension at least dim A + dim B - n. Estimates for the exceptional set of rotations are derived.

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 conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\R^n\to\R^m, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal projections which guarantee that the Hausdorff dimension formula $\dim A\cap P_{\lambda}^{-1}\{u\}=s-m$ holds generically for measurable…

We extend a result, due to Mattila and Sjolin, which says that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ contains…

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 $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \mathcal{L} \geq t$…

The distance set $\Delta(E)$ of a set $E$ consists of all non-negative numbers that represent distances between pairs of points in $E$. This paper studies sparse (less than full-dimensional) Borel sets in $\mathbb R^d$, $d \geq 2$ with a…
