Conjecture on nonsingularity of polynomially bisected directions
Fix , and let be the unit cube. Given , a positive integer , and a polynomial , subdivide into cubes of edge length . A direction is -singular with respect to if some line in direction intersects at least such cubes, each of which is roughly bisected by , meaning that divides it into two parts each having volume at least one tenth of the cube's volume. Polynomial singular-direction conjecture. For every fixed , and every polynomial whose degree is at most a sufficiently large function of , the set of -singular directions is not all of . This conjecture is presented as slightly stronger than the Minkowski Kakeya conjecture and is intended to control the continuity obstruction in the discrete-to-continuous argument. Its resolution is not supplied in the paper.
