This is a Seminaire Bourbaki survey of the proof of the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions. The survey is written for a broad mathematical audience. We sketch all the ideas in the proof, with many pictures.
We give a detailed outline of the proof that the Kakeya conjecture follows from the sticky case. This proof is due to Wang and Zahl and appears in a recent paper. The sticky case was proven in earlier work of Wang-Zahl, building on an…
Roughly speaking, the Kakeya Conjecture asks to what extent lines which point in different directions can be packed together in a small space. In $\R^2$, the problem is relatively straightforward and was settled in the 1970s. In $\R^3$ it…
We survey progress on the Kakeya conjecture in Euclidean space, with an emphasis on developments that have occurred since the previous surveys by Wolff and Katz-Tao.
The purpose of this article is to survey the developments on the Kakeya problem in recent years, concentrating on the period after the excellent 1999 survey of Wolff, and including some recent work by the authors. We will focus on the…
We present a streamlined and simplified proof of the Kakeya set conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
Around the early 2000-s, Bourgain, Katz and Tao introduced an arithmetic approach to study Kakeya-type problems. They showed that the Euclidean Kakeya conjecture follows from a natural problem in additive combinatorics, now referred to as…
A Kakeya set is a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that contains a unit line segment pointing in every direction. The Kakeya conjecture asserts that such sets must have Hausdorff and Minkowski dimension $n$. There is a special class of…
The Kakeya set conjecture in ${\mathbb R} ^3$ was recently resolved by Wang and Zahl. The distinction between sticky and non-sticky Kakeya sets plays an important role in their proof. Although the proof did not require the Kakeya set to be…
We prove the Kakeya set conjecture for $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ for general $N$ as stated by Hickman and Wright [HW18]. This entails extending and combining the techniques of Arsovski [Ars21a] for $N=p^k$ and the author and Dvir [DD21] for…
The arithmetic Kakeya conjecture, formulated by Katz and Tao in 2002, is a statement about addition of finite sets. It is known to imply a form of the Kakeya conjecture, namely that the upper Minkowski dimension of a Besicovitch set in…
We obtain new bounds for the Kakeya maximal conjecture in most dimensions $n<100$, as well as improved bounds for the Kakeya set conjecture when $n=7$ or $9$. For this we consider Guth and Zahl's strengthened formulation of the maximal…
In a recent paper published in the Philosophical Magazine [Z.-D. Zhang, Phil. Mag. 87, 5309-5419 (2007), arXiv:0705.1045], the author advances a conjectured solution for various properties of the three-dimensional Ising model. Here we…
We give a short proof of a slightly weaker version of the multilinear Kakeya inequality proven by Bennett, Carbery, and Tao.
The said paper [2] entitled "Proof Of Two Dimensional Jacobian Conjecture" is with gaps.
We prove the equivalence of two Kakeya conjectures: 1.The Kakeya maximal operator conjecture 2.The disjoint trilinear dual form of the Kakeya maximal operator conjecture
We derive Maximal Kakeya estimates for functions over $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ proving the Maximal Kakeya conjecture for $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ for general $N$ as stated by Hickman and Wright [HW18]. The proof involves using polynomial…
In this dissertation we define a generalization of Kakeya sets in certain metric spaces. Kakeya sets in Euclidean spaces are sets of zero Lebesgue measure containing a segment of length one in every direction. A famous conjecture, known as…
We prove that the Kakeya maximal conjecture is equivalent to the $\Omega$-Kakeya maximal conjecture. This completes a recent result in [2] where Keleti and Math{\'e} proved that the Kakeya conjecture is equivalent to the $\Omega$-Kakeya…
We introduce a new method in the attempt to prove the Jacobian conjecture. In the complex dimension 2 case, we apply this method to prove some new results related the Jacobian conjecture.
