Fractal-set Fourier-dimension conjecture for scalar products

About 8 years old · traced to

Let dd be a positive integer, let ββ∈[0,d]\beta\beta\in[0,d], and let RY={ry:r∈R, y∈Y}RY=\{ry:r\in R,\ y\in Y\} for R⊆(0,∞)R\subseteq(0,\infty) and Y⊆RdY\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d. Fractal-set conjecture. For every β∈[0,d]\beta\in[0,d], there exists a compact set Y⊆RdY\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d such that

dim⁡H(Y)=dim⁡F(Y)=β\dim_H(Y)=\dim_F(Y)=\beta

and, for every non-empty compact set R⊆(0,∞)R\subseteq(0,\infty),

dim⁡F(RY)≥min⁡{d,dim⁡F(R)+dim⁡F(Y)}.\dim_F(RY)\geq\min\{d,\dim_F(R)+\dim_F(Y)\}.

The unit sphere has this property by the preceding theorem, while arbitrary sets need not: sets contained in a hyperplane through the origin can have zero Fourier dimension after multiplication by RR. The conjecture asks whether such sets exist at every prescribed Hausdorff and Fourier dimension.
