Related papers: The Kakeya conjecture, after Wang and Zahl

Recently, Hong Wang and Joshua Zahl announced a proof of the 3-dimensional Kakeya conjecture. This is a survey article on the proof of Kakeya. We introduce the problem, discuss previous work and some of the difficulties of the problem, and…

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.

This is a Bourbaki's seminar text. We introduce the combinatorial Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture on the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff serie. After recalling previous results and consequences, we explain the Alekseev-Meinrenken's proof…

The said paper [2] entitled "Proof Of Two Dimensional Jacobian Conjecture" is with gaps.

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 $\mathbb{R}^3$.

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 give a short proof of a slightly weaker version of the multilinear Kakeya inequality proven by Bennett, Carbery, and Tao.

We prove that all bounded subsets of $\mathbb{Q}_p^n$ containing a line segment of unit length in every direction have Hausdorff and Minkowski dimension $n$. This is the analogue of the classical Kakeya conjecture with $\mathbb{R}$ replaced…

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…

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…

This is a survey on Sarnak's Conjecture

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 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…

In this survey, we give a short overview of the recent progress on the multidimensional L2 conjecture. It can also serve as an introduction to the subject.

We present a history of the Baum-Connes conjecture, the methods involved, the current status, and the mathematics it generated.

A Besicovitch set is a subset of $\R^d$ that contains a unit line segment in every direction and the famous Kakeya conjecture states that Besicovitch sets should have full dimension. We provide a number of results in support of this…

We prove a refined trilinear Kakeya estimate in three dimensions, valid for small values of the transversality parameter.
