We prove that any Besicovitch set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ must have Hausdorff dimension at least $5/2+\epsilon_0$ for some small constant $\epsilon_0>0$. This follows from a more general result about the volume of unions of tubes that satisfy the…

We use geometrical combinatorics arguments, including the ``hairbrush'' and x-ray arguments of Wolff and the sticky/plany/grainy analysis of Katz, Laba, and Tao, to show that Besicovitch sets in R^n have Minkowski dimension at least (n+2)/2…

We pose the following conjecture: (*) If A is the union of line segments in R^n, and B is the union of the corresponding full lines then the Hausdorff dimensions of A and B agree. We prove that this conjecture would imply that every…

A Besicovitch set is a subset of $\R^d$ that contains a unit line segment in every direction and the famous Kakeya conjecture states that Besicovitch sets should have full dimension. We provide a number of results in support of this…

Let $A, B$, be finite subsets of an abelian group, and let $G \subset A \times B$ be such that $# A, # B, # \{a+b: (a,b) \in G \} \leq N$. We consider the question of estimating the quantity $# \{a-b: (a,b) \in G \}$. Recently Bourgain…

We use a characterization of Minkowski measurability to study the asymptotics of best packing on cut-out subsets of the real line with Minkowski dimension $d\in(0,1)$. Our main result is a proof that Minkowski measurability is a sufficient…

This paper studies regularity of perimiter quasiminimizing sets in metric measure spaces with a doubling measure and a Poincare inequality. The main result shows that the measure theoretic boundary of a quasiminimizing set coincides with…

For a collection of convex bodies $P_1,\dots,P_n \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ containing the origin, a Minkowski complex is given by those subsets whose Minkowski sum does not contain a fixed basepoint. Every simplicial complex can be realized as…

In this paper we consider Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least $3$, with nonnegative Ricci curvature and Euclidean Volume Growth. For every open bounded subset with smooth boundary we establish the validity of an optimal Minkowski…

We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…

A pair of subsets of Euclidean space which nearly achieves equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality must nearly coincide with a pair of homothetic convex sets. The two-dimensional case was treated in a previous paper in this series by an…

Keich (1999) showed that the sharp gauge function for the generalized Hausdorff dimension of Besicovitch sets in $\mathbb R^2$ is between $r^2\log 1/r$ and $r^2(\log 1/r) (\log\log 1/r)^{2+\varepsilon}$ by refining an argument of Bourgain…

A subset of a metric space is a k-distance set if there are exactly k non-zero distances occuring between points. We conjecture that a k-distance set in a d-dimensional Banach space (or Minkowski space), contains at most (k+1)^d points,…

We show that for an area minimizing $m$-dimensional integral current $T$ of codimension at least 2 inside a sufficiently regular Riemannian manifold, the upper Minkowski dimension of the interior singular set is at most $m-2$. This provides…

In this paper, we give improved bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of pinned distance sets of planar sets with dimension strictly less than one. As the planar set becomes more regular (i.e., the Hausdorff and packing dimension become…

Let $F$ be a finite field with characteristic greater than two. Define a \emph{Besicovitch set} in $F^4$ to be a set $P \subseteq F^4$ containing a line in every direction. The \emph{Kakeya conjecture} asserts that $|P| \approx |F|^4$. A…

We prove stability estimates for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for convex sets. Unlike existing stability results, our estimates improve as the dimension grows. Our results are equivalent to a thin shell bound, which is one of the central…

The interrelations between (upper and lower) Minkowski contents and (upper and lower) surface area based contents (S-contents) as well as between their associated dimensions have recently been investigated for general sets in R^d (cf. [3]).…

Using an optimal containment approach, we quantify the asymmetry of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to reflections across affine subspaces of a given dimension. We prove general inequalities relating these ''Minkowski…

Using ultraproduct techniques we define a nonstandard Minkowski dimension which exists for all bounded sets and which has the property that $\dim(A\times B)=\dim(A)+\dim(B).$ That is, our new dimension is product-summable. To illustrate our…
