The main result of this paper is the following. Given countably many multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients and maximum degree $d$, we construct a compact set $E\subset \R^n$ of Hausdorff dimension $n/d$ which does not contain…

We extend a result, due to Mattila and Sjolin, which says that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ contains…

In this paper, we study the cardinality of the distance set $\Delta(A, B)$ determined by two subsets $A$ and $B$ of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Assuming that $A$ or $B$ lies in a $k$-coordinate plane…

Fix an alphabet $A=\{0,1,\dots,M\}$ with $M\in\mathbb{N}$. The univoque set $\mathscr{U}$ of bases $q\in(1,M+1)$ in which the number $1$ has a unique expansion over the alphabet $A$ has been well studied. It has Lebesgue measure zero but…

In this note we give an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of removable setsfor elliptic and canceling homogeneous differential operators with constant coefficients in the class of bounded functions, using a simple extension of…

In this paper we obtain the Lebesgue and Hausdorff measure results for the set of vectors satisfying infinitely many fully non-linear Diophantine inequalities. The set is associated with a class of linear inhomogeneous partial differential…

The distance set $\Delta(E)$ of a set $E$ consists of all non-negative numbers that represent distances between pairs of points in $E$. This paper studies sparse (less than full-dimensional) Borel sets in $\mathbb R^d$, $d \geq 2$ with a…

We construct Feigenbaum quadratic polynomials whose Julia sets have positive Lebesgue measure. They provide first examples of rational maps for which the hyperbolic dimension is different from the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set. The…

The Kneser-Poulsen conjecture says that if a finite collection of balls in a Euclidean (spherical or hyperbolic) space is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of centers does not increase, then the volume of the union of these…

We calculate the almost sure Hausdorff dimension of uniformly random self-similar fractals. These random fractals are generated from a finite family of similarities, where the linear parts of the mappings are independent uniformly…

We consider the Hausdorff dimension of the divergence set on which the pointwise convergence $\lim_{t\rightarrow 0} e^{it\sqrt{-\Delta}} f(x) = f(x)$ fails when $f \in H^s(\mathbb R^d)$. We especially prove the conjecture raised by…

We construct examples showing that the normalized Lebesgue measure of the conical limit set of a uniformly quasiconformal group acting discontinuously on the disc may take any value between zero and one. This is in contrast to the cases of…

In 1954 Marstrand proved that if K is a subset of R^2 with Hausdorff dimension greater than 1, then its one-dimensional projection has positive Lebesgue measure for almost-all directions. In this article, we give a combinatorial proof of…

We use techniques from the study of the Falconer distance conjecture to explore conditions which guarantee largeness (in terms of bounded $L^2$ density/Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff measure) of the set of lengths of step-sizes of…

We prove that for any $1 \le k<n$ and $s\le 1$, the union of any nonempty $s$-Hausdorff dimensional family of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of ${\mathbb R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $k+s$. More generally, we show that for any $0 <…

We prove that if $E$ is a planar self-similar set with similarity dimension $d$ whose defining maps generate a dense set of rotations, then the $d$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the orthogonal projection of $E$ onto any line is zero. We…

Fix positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that $a> b\geq 2$ and a positive real $\delta>0$. Let $S$ be a planar set of diameter $\delta$ having the following property: for every $a$ points in $S$, at least $b$ of them have pairwise distances…

We study how small is the set of critical values of the distance function from a compact (resp. closed) set in the plane or in a connected complete two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We show that for a compact set, the set of critical…

In this paper we study the following multi-parameter variant of the celebrated Falconer distance problem. Given ${\textbf{d}}=(d_1,d_2, \dots, d_{\ell})\in \mathbb{N}^{\ell}$ with $d_1+d_2+\dots+d_{\ell}=d$ and $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$,…

For $d\ge 3$ we first show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of $A$-divergent on average points in the $(d-1)$-dimensional closed horosphere in the space of $d$-dimensional Euclidean lattices, where $A$ is the group of positive…
