Let $E\subset\rr$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$. We prove that if $\alpha$ is sufficiently close to 1, and if $E$ supports a probabilistic measure obeying appropriate dimensionality and Fourier decay conditions, then $E$…

Let $\mathbb{P}= \{P_1, \cdots, P_{k}\in \mathbb{R}[y]\}$ be a collection of polynomials with distinct degrees and zero constant terms. We proved that there exists $\epsilon=\epsilon(\mathbb{P})>0$ such that, for any compact set $E \subset…

We present a detailed Hausdorff dimension analysis of the set of real numbers where the product of consecutive partial quotients in their continued fraction expansion grow at a certain rate but the growth of the single partial quotient is…

Let $P_1, \ldots, P_m \in K[y]$ be polynomials with distinct degrees, no constant terms and coefficients in a general locally compact topological field $K$. We give a quantitative count of the number of polynomial progressions $x, x+P_1(y),…

In a previous paper of the authors, we showed that for any polynomials $P_1,\dots,P_k \in \Z[\mathbf{m}]$ with $P_1(0)=\dots=P_k(0)$ and any subset $A$ of the primes in $[N] = \{1,\dots,N\}$ of relative density at least $\delta>0$, one can…

We characterize when bivariate real analytic functions are "dimension expanding" when applied to a Cartesian product. If $P$ is a bivariate real analytic function that is not locally of the form $P(x,y) = h(a(x) + b(y))$, then whenever $A$…

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha\in (0, 1)$. Let $P: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a polynomial without a constant term whose degree is bigger than one. We prove that if $E$ supports a probability…

We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Let $X$ be a $d$-dimensional Gaussian process in $[0,1]$, where the component are independent copies of a scalar Gaussian process $X_0$ on $[0,1]$ with a given general variance function $\gamma^2(r)=\operatorname{Var}\left(X_0(r)\right)$…

Let $x=[a_1(x),a_2(x),\ldots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x\in[0,1)$. We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of \begin{equation*}E_{even}=\{x\in[0,1)\colon a_{2n}(x)\to\infty\ (n\to\infty)\}.\end{equation*} is 1/2. In general,…

In this article, we study the growth of higher-order Sobolev norms for solutions to the defocusing cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with harmonic potential in dimensions $d=2,3$, \begin{align}\label{PNLS} \begin{cases}\tag{PNLS}…

In this paper we prove a basic theorem which says that if f : F_p^n -> [0,1] has the property that ||f^||_(1/3) is not too ``large''(actually, it also holds for quasinorms 1/2-\delta in place of 1/3), and E(f) = p^{-n} sum_m f(m) is not too…

We show that if $B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $E \subset A(n,k)$ is a nonempty collection of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that every $P \in E$ intersects $B$ in a set of Hausdorff dimension at least $\alpha$ with…

We consider four related problems. (1) Obtaining dimension estimates for the set of exceptional vantage points for the pinned Falconer distance problem. (2) Nonlinear projection theorems, in the spirit of Kaufman, Bourgain, and Shmerkin.…

We establish existence, uniqueness, and Sobolev and H\"older regularity results for the stochastic partial differential equation $$ du=\left(\sum_{i,j=1}^d a^{ij}u_{x^ix^j}+f^0+\sum_{i=1}^d f^i_{x^i}\right)dt+\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}g^kdw^k_t,…

We prove that for any $E\subset{\Bbb R}^2$, $\dim_{\mathcal{H}}(E)>1$, there exists $x\in E$ such that the Hausdorff dimension of the pinned distance set $$\Delta_x(E)=\{|x-y|: y \in E\}$$ is no less than…

We analyze the Fourier growth, i.e. the $L_1$ Fourier weight at level $k$ (denoted $L_{1,k}$), of various well-studied classes of "structured" $\mathbb{F}_2$-polynomials. This study is motivated by applications in pseudorandomness, in…

We show that subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of large enough Hausdorff and Fourier dimension contain polynomial patterns of the form \begin{align*} ( x ,\, x + A_1 y ,\, \dots,\, x + A_{k-1} y ,\, x + A_k y + Q(y) e_n ), \quad x \in…

We show that an arbitrary nilprogression can be approximated by a proper coset nilprogression in upper-triangular form. This can be thought of as a nilpotent version of the Freiman-Bilu result that a generalised arithmetic progression can…
