Three-halves logarithmic dimension conjecture for Furstenberg sets

Let h\mathfrak{h} and g\mathfrak{g} be dimension functions with

h(x)=g(x)=1log(1/x),\mathfrak{h}(x)=\mathfrak{g}(x)=\frac{1}{\log(1/x)},

and let ER2E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{2} be an FhgF_{\mathfrak{h}\mathfrak{g}}-set: there is a subset LL of the unit circle with Hg(L)>0\mathcal{H}^{\mathfrak{g}}(L)>0, and for every direction eLe\in L there is a line segment e\ell_e in direction ee such that Hδh(eE)>1\mathcal{H}_{\delta}^{\mathfrak{h}}(\ell_e\cap E)>1 for all sufficiently small δ\delta.

Three-halves logarithmic dimension conjecture. The function

1log3/2(1/x)\frac{1}{\log^{3/2}(1/x)}

should be an appropriate dimension function for EE, in the sense that a logarithmic gap can be estimated.

The conjecture asks for the expected logarithmic refinement of the preceding dimension estimates in the case where both direction and fibre dimension functions equal 1/log(1/x)1/\log(1/x). The source does not state whether this prediction has been proved or disproved.
