Abstract

We prove the Kakeya set conjecture for Z/NZ\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z} for general NN as stated by Hickman and Wright [HW18]. This entails extending and combining the techniques of Arsovski [Ars21a] for N=pkN=p^k and the author and Dvir [DD21] for the case of square-free NN. We also prove stronger lower bounds for the size of (m,ϵ)(m,\epsilon)-Kakeya sets over Z/pkZ\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z} by extending the techniques of [Ars21a] using multiplicities as was done in [SS08, DKSS13]. In addition, we show our bounds are almost sharp by providing a new construction for Kakeya sets over Z/pkZ\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z} and Z/NZ\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}.
