We provide a condition on a set of directions $\Omega \subset \mathbb{S}^1$ ensuring that the associated directional maximal operator $M_\Omega$ is unbounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for every $1 \leq p < \infty$. The techniques of proof…
We develop a notion of finite order lacunarity for direction sets in $\mathbb R^{d+1}$. Given a direction set $\Omega$ that is sublacunary according to this definition, we construct random examples of Euclidean sets that contain unit line…
We prove that the Kakeya maximal conjecture is equivalent to the $\Omega$-Kakeya maximal conjecture. This completes a recent result in [2] where Keleti and Math{\'e} proved that the Kakeya conjecture is equivalent to the $\Omega$-Kakeya…
We completely characterize the boundedness of planar directional maximal operators on L^p. More precisely, if Omega is a set of directions, we show that M_Omega, the maximal operator associated to line segments in the directions Omega, is…
We establish the sharp growth order, up to epsilon losses, of the $L^2$-norm of the maximal directional averaging operator along a finite subset $V$ of a polynomial variety of arbitrary dimension $m$, in terms of cardinality. This is an…
$K_\sigma$ sets involving sticky maps $\sigma$ have been used in the theory of differentiation of integrals to probabilistically construct Kakeya-type sets that imply certain types of directional maximal operators are unbounded on…
Let $\Omega $ be any set of directions (unit vectors) on the plane. In this paper we study maximal operator of the one dimensional maximal function computed in the directions of $\Omega$ We are interested in extensions of lacunary sets of…
Given a family G of rectangles, to which one associates a tree [G], one defines a natural number $\lambda$ [G] called its analytic split and satisfying, for all 1 < p < $\infty$ log($\lambda$ [G]) p MG p p where MG is the Hardy-Littlewood…
We construct a compact set in $\mathbb R^2$ of measure 0 containing a piece of a parabola of every aperture between 1 and 2. As a consequence, we improve lower bounds for the $L^p$-$L^q$ norm of the corresponding maximal operator for a…
A (d,k) set is a subset of R^d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane. Bourgain showed that for 2^{k-1}+k \geq d, every (d,k) set has positive Lebesgue measure. We give an L^p bound for the corresponding maximal operator.
We prove that every Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ formed from lines of the form $(a,b,0) + \operatorname{span}(c,d,1)$ with $ad-bc=1$ must have Hausdorff dimension $3$; Kakeya sets of this type are called $SL_2$ Kakeya sets. This result was…
The Kakeya conjecture is generally formulated as one the following statements: every compact/Borel/arbitrary subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that contains a (unit) line segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension $n$; or, sometimes, that…
In relation to the Erd\H os similarity problem (show that for any infinite set $A$ of real numbers there exists a set of positive Lebesgue measure which contains no affine copy of $A$) we give some new examples of infinite sets which are…
We study some variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem. We pose the question if every measurable subset of the real line with positive measure contains a similar copy of an infinite geometric progression. We construct a compact subset…
Let $Homeo(\Omega)$ be the group of all homeomorphisms of a Cantor set $\Omega$. We study topological properties of $Homeo(\Omega)$ and its subsets with respect to the uniform $(\tau)$ and weak $(\tau_w)$ topologies. The classes of…
We show that for each odd integer $n\ge 3$, there is an open dense subset of H\"ormander phase functions in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for which the associated curved Kakeya sets have Hausdorff dimension at least $\frac{n+1}{2} + d_n$ for some positive…
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…
In this dissertation we define a generalization of Kakeya sets in certain metric spaces. Kakeya sets in Euclidean spaces are sets of zero Lebesgue measure containing a segment of length one in every direction. A famous conjecture, known as…
Given $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, define ${\mathcal D}(E) \equiv {(x-y)/|x-y|: x,y \in E} \subset S^{d-1},$ the set of directions determined by $E$. We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is greater than $d-1$, then…
A (d,k) set is a subset of R^d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane. Bourgain showed that for k \geq k_{cr}(d), where k_{cr}(d) solves 2^{k_{cr}-1}+k_{cr} = d, every (d,k) set has positive Lebesgue measure. We give a short…
