We define two notions of discrete dimension based on the Minkowski and Hausdorff dimensions in the continuous setting. After proving some basic results illustrating these definitions, we apply this machinery to the study of connections…

In this paper we prove some lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of sets of Furstenberg type. Moreover, we extend these results to sets of generalized Furstenberg type, associated to doubling dimension functions. With some additional…

Hausdorff measure and Hausdorff dimension are useful tools to describe fractals. This paper investigates the bounds on the $d\log_32$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the $d$-fold Cartesian product of the $1/3$ Cantor set, $\mathcal C^d$.…

In this paper, we study Hausdorff and Fourier dimension from the point of view of effective descriptive set theory and Type-2 Theory of Effectivity. Working in the hyperspace $\mathbf{K}(X)$ of compact subsets of $X$, with $X=[0,1]^d$ or…

The results in this paper are of two types. On one hand, we construct sets of large Fourier dimension that avoid nontrivial solutions of certain classes of linear equations. In particular, given any finite collection of…

We study the Erd\"os/Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields. Let ${\Bbb F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and take $E \subset {\Bbb F}^d_q$, $d \ge 2$. We develop a Fourier analytic machinery, analogous to…

Arithmetic progressions of length $3$ may be found in compact subsets of the reals that satisfy certain Fourier -- as well as Hausdorff -- dimensional requirements. It has been shown that a very similar result holds in the integers under…

In this paper we prove the Hausdorff dimension of the set of (nondegenerate) singular two-dimensional vectors with uniform exponent $\mu$ $\in$ (1/2, 1) is 2(1 -- $\mu$) when $\mu$ $\ge$ $\sqrt$ 2/2, whereas for $\mu$ \textless{} $\sqrt$…

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 3$, is greater than $\min \left\{ \frac{dk+1}{k+1}, \frac{d+k}{2} \right\},$ then the ${k+1 \choose 2}$-dimensional Lebesgue measure of $T_k(E)$, the set of…

Let $\mathbb F_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. For each non-zero $r$ in $\mathbb F_q$ and $E\subset \mathbb F_q^d$, we define $W(r)$ as the number of quadruples $(x,y,z,w)\in…

We show that given $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ there is a constant $c=c(\alpha) > 0$ such that any planar $(\alpha, 2\alpha)$-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension at least $2\alpha + c$. This improves several previous bounds, in particular…

For a positive integer $d$, a set of points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is called almost-equidistant if for any three points from the set, some two are at unit distance. Let $f(d)$ denote the largest size of an almost-equidistant set…

In this paper we consider the problem of how large the Hausdorff dimension of $E\subset\R^d$ needs to be in order to ensure that the radii set of $(d-1)$-dimensional spheres determined by $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure. We also study the…

We prove that for every polynomial of one complex variable of degree at least 2 and Julia set not being totally disconnected nor a circle, nor interval, Hausdorff dimension of this Julia set is larger than 1. Till now this was known only in…

We prove that subsets of ${\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 4$ of large enough Hausdorff dimensions contain vertices of an equilateral triangle. It is known that additional hypotheses are needed to assure the existence of equilateral triangles in two…

We prove that if $\alpha\in (0,1/2]$, then the packing dimension of a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ for which there exists a set of lines of dimension $1$ intersecting $E$ in dimension $\ge \alpha$ is at least $1/2+\alpha+c(\alpha)$ for some…

We study Fourier frames of exponentials on fractal measures associated with a class of affine iterated function systems. We prove that, under a mild technical condition, the Beurling dimension of a Fourier frame coincides with the Hausdorff…

We study several distinct but related Fourier analytic variants of the well-known Kakeya and Furstenberg set problems in the plane. For example, given $0<s,t<1$, we call a set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ an $(s,t)$-Kakeya set if there exists…

Given a set in the plane, the average length of its projections over all directions is called Favard length. This quantity measures the size of a set, and is closely related to metric and geometric properties of the set such as…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…
