Falconer's conjecture

Conjectureopen

In geometric measure theory, Falconer's conjecture, named after Kenneth Falconer, is an unsolved problem concerning the sets of Euclidean distances between points in compact dd -dimensional spaces. Intuitively, it states that a set of points that is large in its Hausdorff dimension must determine a set of distances that is large in measure. More precisely, if SS is a compact set of points in dd -dimensional Euclidean space whose Hausdorff dimension is strictly greater than d/2d/2, then the conjecture states that the set of distances between pairs of points in SS must have nonzero Lebesgue measure.
