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…

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 give improved lower bounds on the size of Kakeya and Nikodym sets over $\mathbb{F}_q^3$. We also propose a natural conjecture on the minimum number of points in the union of a not-too-flat set of lines in $\mathbb{F}_q^3$, and show that…

This thesis investigates two problems that are discrete analogues of two harmonic analytic problems which lie in the heart of research in the field. More specifically, we consider discrete analogues of the maximal Kakeya operator conjecture…

Bennett, Carbery, and Tao formulated an n-linear analogue of the Kakeya conjecture in R^n. They proved the conjecture except for the endpoint case. We prove the endpoint case.

We study sets of $\delta$ tubes in $\mathbb{R}^3$, with the property that not too many tubes can be contained inside a common convex set $V$. We show that the union of tubes from such a set must have almost maximal volume. As a consequence,…

Most of the assertions in the theory of well ordered sets are quite simple. However, one of its central statements, Zermelo's theorem, stands out of this rule, for its well-known proofs are rather complicated. The aim of the current paper…

We study a variety of problems about homothets of sets related to the Kakeya conjecture. In particular, we show many of these problems are equivalent to the arithmetic Kakeya conjecture of Katz and Tao. We also provide a proof that the…

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…
