On planar Nikodym-type sets

Alan Chang, Mingfeng Chen, Shaoming Guo +3

Nikodym constructed a measure-zero Borel set in the plane that contains a punctured line segment passing through each point in the unit square. Fenton and Falconer asked whether a…

Favard length of non-homogeneous random disc-like Cantor sets

Alan Chang, Damian Dąbrowski, Giacomo Del Nin

The Favard length of a planar set is the average length of its orthogonal projections. We provide sharp estimates for the Favard length decay of a random variant of the non-homogen…

Prescribed projections for a general class of maps and efficient covering by variable plane curves

Alan Chang, Robert Fraser, Alex McDonald +2

We prove a prescribed projection theorem for any class of non-linear projections defined on open subsets of the plane which satisfies some mild geometric conditions. This generaliz…

Sharp Favard length of random Cantor sets

Alan Chang, Pablo Shmerkin, Ville Suomala

We show that for a large class of planar -dimensional random fractals , the Favard length of the neighborhood is comparable to $\log^{-1}(1/…

Prescribed projections and efficient coverings by curves in the plane

Alan Chang, Alex McDonald, Krystal Taylor

Davies efficient covering theorem states that an arbitrary measurable set in the plane can be covered by full lines so that the measure of the union of the lines has the same m…

A random line intersects in two probabilistically independent locations

Dmitriy Bilyk, Alan Chang, Otte Heinävaara +2

We consider random lines in (random with respect to the kinematic measure) and how they intersect . It is known that the entry point and the exit point…

Nikodym sets and maximal functions associated with spheres

Alan Chang, Georgios Dosidis, Jongchon Kim

We study spherical analogues of Nikodym sets and related maximal functions. In particular, we prove sharp -estimates for Nikodym maximal functions associated with spheres. As…

Structure of sets with nearly maximal Favard length

Alan Chang, Damian Dąbrowski, Tuomas Orponen +1

Let be an measurable set with , and let be a line segment with $\mat…

Decoupling for fractal subsets of the parabola

Alan Chang, Jaume de Dios Pont, Rachel Greenfeld +3

We consider decoupling for a fractal subset of the parabola. We reduce studying decoupling for a fractal subset on the parabola to stu…

Analytic capacity and projections

Alan Chang, Xavier Tolsa

In this paper we study the connection between the analytic capacity of a set and the size of its orthogonal projections. More precisely, we prove that if is co…

Small unions of affine subspaces and skeletons via Baire category

Alan Chang, Marianna Csörnyei, Kornélia Héra +1

Our aim is to find the minimal Hausdorff dimension of the union of scaled and/or rotated copies of the -skeleton of a fixed polytope centered at the points of a given set. For m…

The Kakeya needle problem and the existence of Besicovitch and Nikodym sets for rectifiable sets

Alan Chang, Marianna Csörnyei

We solve the Kakeya needle problem and construct a Besicovitch and a Nikodym set for rectifiable sets.

The Whitney extension theorem in high dimensions

Alan Chang

We prove a variant of the standard Whitney extension theorem for , in which the norm of the extension operator has polynomial growth in for fixed …

Newman's conjecture in various settings

Julio Andrade, Alan Chang, Steven J. Miller

De Bruijn and Newman introduced a deformation of the Riemann zeta function , and found a real constant which encodes the movement of the zeros of under the deforma…
