The use of Hausdorff measures and dimension in the theory of Diophantine approximation dates back to the 1920s with the theorems of Jarnik and Besicovitch regarding well-approximable and badly-approximable points. In this paper we consider…
Applications in data science, shape analysis and object classification frequently require comparison of probability distributions defined on different ambient spaces. To accomplish this, one requires a notion of distance on a given class of…
The recent breakthrough of Guth, Iosevich, Ou, and Wang (2019) on the Falconer distance problem states that for a compact set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, if the Hausdorff dimension of $A$ is greater than $\frac{5}{4}$, then the distance set…
$\Phi$-intermediate dimensions interpolate between Hausdorff and box-counting dimensions by restricting admissible coverings to scale windows of the form $[\Phi(r),r]$. Using a family of $\Phi$-dependent kernels, we develop a…
These series of notes serve as an introduction to some of both the classical and modern techniques in Reifenberg theory. At its heart, Reifenberg theory is about studying general sets or measures which can be, in one sense or another,…
The point-to-set principle \cite{LutLut17} characterizes the Hausdorff dimension of a subset $E\subseteq\R^n$ by the \textit{effective} (or algorithmic) dimension of its individual points. This characterization has been used to prove…
Let $L_1,L_2,\dots,L_K$ be a family of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space $H$, $L_1\cap \dots \cap L_K =\{0\}$; let $P_k$ be the orthogonal projection onto $L_k$. We consider two types of consecutive projections of an element $x_0\in H$:…
Definition. A symmetric with respect to 0 bounded closed convex set A in a finite dimensional normed space X is called a sufficient enlargement for X (or of B(X)) if for arbitrary isometric embedding of X into a Banach space Y there exists…
The course was given at Peking University, Fall 2019. We discuss the following subjects: (1) Introduction to general topology, hyperspaces, metric and pseudometric spaces, graph theory. (2) Graphs in metric spaces, minimum spanning tree,…
The first goal of this paper is to prove a sharp condition to guarantee of having a positive proportion of all congruence classes of triangles in given sets in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. More precisely, for $A, B, C\subset \mathbb{F}_q^2$, if…
Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$. A set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a Furstenberg $s$-set, if for every unit vector $e \in S^{1}$, some line $L_{e}$ parallel to $e$ satisfies $$\dim_{\mathrm{H}} [K \cap L_{e}] \geq s.$$ The Furstenberg set problem,…
We study the dimension theory of limit sets of iterated function systems consisting of a countably infinite number of contractions. Our primary focus is on the intermediate dimensions: a family of dimensions depending on a parameter $\theta…
The classical Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem implies that the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure of a set in Euclidean space with non-negligible d-unrectifiable part will strictly decrease under orthogonal projection onto almost every…
In additive combinatorics, Erd\"{o}s-Szemer\'{e}di Conjecture is an important conjecture. It can be applied to many fields, such as number theory, harmonic analysis, incidence geometry, and so on. Additionally, its statement is quite easy…
We prove a general nonlinear projection theorem for Assouad dimension. This theorem has several applications including to distance sets, radial projections, and sum-product phenomena. In the setting of distance sets we are able to…
We give upper bounds on the number of exceptional radial projections of arbitrary subsets of vector spaces over finite fields. Our bounds do not depend on the dimension of the ambient space. Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional…
Marstrand's theorem states that applying a generic rotation to a planar set $A$ before projecting it orthogonally to the $x$-axis almost surely gives an image with the maximal possible dimension $\min(1, \dim A)$. We first prove, using the…
We consider point sets in the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$ and explore variants of classical extremal problems about planar point sets in this setting, with a main focus on Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres-type problems. We provide…
This paper constructs the geometrically natural objects which are associated with any projection tensor field on a manifold with any affine connection. The approaches to projection tensor fields which have been used in general relativity…
We fully resolve the Furstenberg set conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^2$, that a $(s, t)$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension $\ge \min(s+t, \frac{3s+t}{2}, s+1)$. As a result, we obtain an analogue of Elekes' bound for the discretized…
