On the Eigen-Falconer theorem in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$

Abstract

In this paper, we study the analogous Erdős similarity conjecture in higher dimensions and generalize the Eigen-Falconer theorem. We show that if $A=\{{\mathbf{x}}_n{\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^d$ is a sequence of non-zero vectors satisfying \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \|\boldsymbol{x}_n\| =0 \quad \text{and} \quad \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\|\boldsymbol{x}_{n+1}\|}{\|\boldsymbol{x}_n\|} = 1, \] then there exists a measurable set $E\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^d$ with positive Lebesgue measure such that $E$ contains no affine copies of $A$.
