There exists a continuous function f : [0, 1] → [0, 1]n−1 such that dim(graph f ) = n. That is, for E = graph f we have dim E = n but s + 1 = 1 since dim(E ∩ (V + tv)) = 0 for every t.

Sketch of the proof of the connection with Kakeya

Theorem

If Fubini property holds for union of lines then any line-Besicovitch set has Hausdorff dimension at least n − 1.

Sketch of the proof.

It is easy to see that if we have a line-Besicovitch set with Hausdorff dimension d then we also have a Borel set B ⊂ Rn with dim B = d and with the property that for any point p of a fixed horizontal hyperplane H there exists a line lp, not far from vertical, such that lp \ {p} ⊂ B. Let C ⊂ H be the graph of a continuous function f : [0, 1] → [0, 1]n−2 with dim C = n − 1 and let E be the union of the lines lp for p ∈ C and let E ′ be the union of the punched lines lp \ {p} for p ∈ C. Then E ⊃ C, so dim E ≥ n − 1 but E ′ ⊂ B, so dim E ′ ≤ d. If v is chosen properly and V = v ⊥ then H ∩ (V + tv) is at most one point for every t, so dim E ′ ∩ (V + tv) = dim E ∩ (V + tv). By the always true Fubini inequality dim E ′ ∩ (V + tv) ≤ dim E ′ − 1 ≤ d − 1 for

  • a. e. t and by the conjectured Fubini for E (which is union of lines)

dim E ∩ (V + tv) ≥ dim E − 1 ≥ n − 2 for a. e. t. Therefore d ≥ n − 1.

Sketch of the proof.

It is easy to see that if we have a line-Besicovitch set with Hausdorff dimension d then we also have a Borel set B ⊂ Rn with dim B = d and with the property that for any point p of a fixed horizontal hyperplane H there exists a line lp, not far from vertical, such that lp \ {p} ⊂ B. Let C ⊂ H be the graph of a continuous function f : [0, 1] → [0, 1]n−2 with dim C = n − 1 and let E be the union of the lines lp for p ∈ C and let E ′ be the union of the punched lines lp \ {p} for p ∈ C. Then E ⊃ C, so dim E ≥ n − 1 but E ′ ⊂ B, so dim E ′ ≤ d. If v is chosen properly and V = v ⊥ then H ∩ (V + tv) is at most one point for every t, so dim E ′ ∩ (V + tv) = dim E ∩ (V + tv). By the always true Fubini inequality dim E ′ ∩ (V + tv) ≤ dim E ′ − 1 ≤ d − 1 for

  • a. e. t and by the conjectured Fubini for E (which is union of lines)

dim E ∩ (V + tv) ≥ dim E − 1 ≥ n − 2 for a. e. t. Therefore d ≥ n − 1.

If Fubini property holds for union of lines then any line-Besicovitch set has Hausdorff dimension at least n − 1.

Connection with projection theorems

Let m ∈ N and Pt : Rm × Rm → Rm (t ∈ R) be the following 1-dimensional family of projections: Pt(x, y) = tx + (1 − t)y.

Conjecture (Dream projection ”theorem”)

For any Borel set B ⊂ R2m with dim B ≤ m, dim Pt(B) = dim B for

  • a. e. t ∈ [0, 1].

For m = 1 this is essentially Martsrand’s classical projection theorem, and it gives the planar case of the Kakeya conjecture. For general m the same duality argument gives that this Conjecture would imply Kakeya conjecture in Rm+1. Combining the results of this talk (for n = m + 1) and the previous talk (for n = m + 1, k = 1) we get the following partial result about the above conjecture:

Theorem

For any Borel set B ⊂ R2m with dim B ≤ 1, dim Pt(B) = dim B for a. e. t ∈ [0, 1].
