We extend the microlocal Kakeya--Nikodym bounds for eigenfunctions of Blair--Sogge to a larger range of exponents, which is optimal in all dimensions $n\ge3$ on general manifolds. On manifolds of constant sectional curvature, we introduce a…

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…

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…

This paper studies the structure of Kakeya sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show that for every Kakeya set $K\subset\mathbb{R}^3$, there exist well-separated scales $0<\delta<\rho\leq 1$ so that the $\delta$ neighborhood of $K$ is almost as large…

We consider a class of H\"ormander-type oscillatory integral operators in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n \geq 3$ odd with real analytic phase. We derive weak conditions on the phase which ensure $L^p$ bounds beyond the universal $p \geq 2 \cdot…

We prove that every Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ formed from lines of the form $(a,b,0) + \operatorname{span}(c,d,1)$ with $ad-bc=1$ must have Hausdorff dimension $3$; Kakeya sets of this type are called $SL_2$ Kakeya sets. This result was…

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…

In this paper, we study curved Kakeya sets associated with phase functions satisfying Bourgain's condition. In particular, we show that the analysis of curved Kakeya sets arising from translation-invariant phase functions under Bourgain's…

I show that $L^{p}-L^{q}$ estimates for the Kakeya maximal function yield lower bounds for the conformal dimension of Kakeya sets, and upper bounds for how much quasisymmetries can increase the Hausdorff dimension of line segments inside…

We consider Carleson-Sj\"{o}lin operators on Riemannian manifolds that arise naturally from the study of Bochner-Riesz problems on manifolds. They are special cases of H\"{o}rmander-type oscillatory integral operators. We obtain improved…

We prove that in all dimensions at least 3 and for any H\"ormander-type oscillatory integral operator satisfying Bourgain's condition, the sticky case of the corresponding curved Kakeya conjecture reduces to the sticky case of the classical…

We give new lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of Kakeya sets built from various families of curves in $\mathbb R^3$, going beyond what the polynomial partitioning method has so-far achieved. We do this by combining Wolff's classical…

Here we show some results related with Kakeya conjecture which says that for any integer $n\geq 2$, a set containing line segments in every dimension in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has full Hausdorff dimension as well as box dimension. We proved here…

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…

We prove a Kakeya-Nikodym bound on eigenfunctions and quasimodes, which sharpens a result of the authors and extends it to higher dimensions. As in the prior work, the key intermediate step is to prove a microlocal version of these…

The Kakeya conjecture is generally formulated as one the following statements: every compact/Borel/arbitrary subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that contains a (unit) line segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension $n$; or, sometimes, that…

Through the use of a nonstandard version of Frostman's lemma, the notion of Hausdorff dimension is formulated in nonstandard euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. This allows for a nonstandard proof of the Kakeya conjecture in two…

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…

We define Kakeya sets in the Heisenberg group and show that the Heisenberg Hausdorff dimension of Kakeya sets in the first Heisenberg group is at least 3. This lower bound is sharp since, under our definition, the $\{xoy\}$-plane is a…

Oscillatory integral operators with $1$-homogeneous phase functions satisfying a convexity condition are considered. For these we show the $L^p - L^p$-estimates for the Fourier extension operator of the cone due to Ou--Wang via polynomial…
