The measures with L2-bounded Riesz transform and the Painlevé problem

In this work we obtain a geometric characterization of the measures μ in Rn+1 with polynomial upper growth of degree n such that the n-dimensional Riesz transform Rμ(x)=∫x−y|x−y|n+1dμ(y) …

Analytic capacity and dimension of sets with plenty of big projections

Our main result marks progress on an old conjecture of Vitushkin. We show that a compact set in the plane with plenty of big projections (PBP) has positive analytic capacity, along with a quantitative lower bound. A higher dimensional counterpart is …

Quantitative Besicovitch projection theorem for irregular sets of directions

The classical Besicovitch projection theorem states that if a planar set E with finite length is purely unrectifiable, then almost all orthogonal projections of E have zero length. We prove a quantitative version of this result: if a planar set E is …

Visible parts and slices of Ahlfors regular sets

We show that for any compact set E⊂Rd the visible part of E has Hausdorff dimension at most d−1/6 for almost every direction. This improves recent estimates of Orponen and Matheus. If E is s-Ahlfors regular, where sd−1, we …

On the dimension of s-Nikodým sets

Let s∈[0,1]. We show that a Borel set N⊂R2 whose every point is linearly accessible by an s-dimensional family of lines has Hausdorff dimension at most 2−s.

Structure of sets with nearly maximal Favard length

Let E⊂B(1)⊂R2 be an H1 measurable set with H1(E)0.

How much can heavy lines cover?

One formulation of Marstrand's slicing theorem is the following. Assume that t∈(1,2], and B⊂R2 is a Borel set with Ht(B)t−1? A positive answer for t-regular sets B⊂R2 was …

An α-number characterization of Lp spaces on uniformly rectifiable sets

We give a characterization of Lp(σ) for uniformly rectifiable measures σ using Tolsa's α-numbers, by showing, for $1

Necessary condition for the L2 boundedness of the Riesz transform on Heisenberg groups

Let μ be a Radon measure on the n-th Heisenberg group Hn. In this note we prove that if the (2n+1)-dimensional (Heisenberg) Riesz transform on Hn is L2(μ)-bounded, and if μ(F)=0 for all Borel sets with …

Integrability of orthogonal projections, and applications to Furstenberg sets

Let G(d,n) be the Grassmannian manifold of n-dimensional subspaces of Rd, and let πV:Rd→V be the orthogonal projection. We prove that if μ is a compactly supported Radon measure on …
