The Kakeya conjecture for polynomial Wolff axioms
The Kakeya conjecture for polynomial Wolff axioms
A Kakeya set in is a compact set containing a unit line segment in every direction. A collection of -tubes satisfies the polynomial Wolff axioms if it obeys the polynomial incidence bounds for semi-algebraic sets of bounded complexity used in the paper. Write for the indicator of , and define by: for every , there is a constant independent of such that .
Kakeya conjecture for the polynomial Wolff axioms. For every dimension , there is a complexity such that, whenever is a set of -tubes in obeying the polynomial Wolff axioms for semi-algebraic sets of complexity at most ,
This would imply
The conjecture would extend the known Wolff-axiom maximal-function estimate and would imply the expected near-unit volume bound for unions of tubes satisfying the polynomial axioms; it remains open.
