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…

We prove essentially sharp incidence estimates for a collection of $\delta$-tubes and $\delta$-balls in the plane, where the $\delta$-tubes satisfy an $\alpha$-dimensional spacing condition and the $\delta$-balls satisfy a…

After the correction of an inaccurate result in the reference, the author uses five different methods, and gets five different inequalities on the Hausdorff measure of the Cartesian product of the middle third Cantor set with itself: $$H^s…

A celebrated result due to Wolff says if $E$ is a compact subset of ${\Bbb R}^2$, then the Lebesgue measure of the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ is positive if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is greater than $\frac{4}{3}$.…

Let $R$ be a finite valuation ring of order $q^r.$ Using a point-plane incidence estimate in $R^3$, we obtain sum-product type estimates for subsets of $R$. In particular, we prove that for $A\subset R$, $$|AA+A|\gg \min\left\{q^{r},…

A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) set is a set of integers A contained in {0, ..., n-1} whose sumset A+A is larger than its difference set A-A. While it is known that as n tends to infinity a positive percentage of subsets of {0, ...,…

Consider a finite Blaschke product $f$ with $f(0) = 0$ which is not a rotation and denote by $f^n$ its $n$-th iterate. Given a sequence $\{a_n\}$ of complex numbers, consider the series $F(z) = \sum_n a_n f^n(z).$ We show that for any $w…

We estimate the sizes of the sumset A + A and the productset A $\cdot$ A in the special case that A = S (x, y), the set of positive integers n less than or equal to x, free of prime factors exceeding y.

The \emph{sum-product phenomenon} predicts that a finite set $A$ in a ring $R$ should have either a large sumset $A+A$ or large product set $A \cdot A$ unless it is in some sense "close" to a finite subring of $R$. This phenomenon has been…

For semiclassical problems we establish upper bounds on the number of resonances in boxes of size $h$ along the real axis, in terms of the dimension of the set of trapped trajectories. The proof uses second microlocalization.

Let $0 < \beta \leq \alpha < 1$ and $\kappa > 0$. I prove that there exists $\eta > 0$ such that the following holds for every pair of Borel sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ with $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A = \alpha$ and $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B =…

We prove new results on additive properties of finite sets $A$ with small multiplicative doubling $|AA|\leq M|A|$ in the category of real/complex sets as well as multiplicative subgroups in the prime residue field. The improvements are…

We determine the Hausdorff, packing and box-counting dimension of a family of self-affine sets generalizing Bara\'nski carpets. More specifically, we fix a Bara\'nski system and allow both vertical and horizontal random translations, while…

In the paper, we define a class of new fractals named ``non-autonomous attractors", which are the generalization of classic Moran sets and attractors of iterated function systems. Simply to say, we replace the similarity mappings by…

We study the Falconer distance set problem in Euclidean space and obtain improved dimensional estimates under natural Fourier analytic assumptions cast in terms of the Fourier dimension and spectrum. Interestingly, under reasonably mild…

The pattern avoidance problem seeks to construct a set with large fractal dimension that avoids a prescribed pattern, such as three term arithmetic progressions, or more general patterns, such as finding a set whose Cartesian product avoids…

In the literature, the Minkowski-sum and the metric-sum of compact sets are highlighted. While the first is associative, the latter is not. But the major drawback of the Minkowski combination is that, by increasing the number of summands,…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p>2$ and $A\subset F$ have sufficiently small cardinality in terms of $p$. We improve the state of the art of a variety of sum-product type inequalities. In particular, we prove that $$ |AA|^2|A+A|^3…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $A$ be a set of $k\ge 2n-1$ integers. For the restricted sumset $$ S_n(A)=\{a_1+\cdots +a_n:\ a_1,\ldots,a_n\in A,\ \text{and}\ a_i^2\neq a_j^2\ \text{for} \ 1\le i<j\le n\}, $$ by a 2002 result of Liu…

For every e>0, any subset of R^n with Hausdorff dimension larger than (1-e)n must have ultrametric distortion larger than 1/(4e).
