Hickman–Wright's Kakeya set conjecture over finite cyclic rings

About 5 years old · traced to

Let N,n∈NN,n\in\mathbb{N}, and let S⊆(Z/NZ)nS\subseteq (\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^n be a Kakeya set, meaning that SS contains a line in every direction in P(Z/NZ)n−1\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^{n-1}. Hickman–Wright's Kakeya set conjecture. For all ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} there exists a constant Cn,ϵC_{n,\epsilon} such that every Kakeya set S⊂(Z/NZ)nS\subset (\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^n satisfies

∣S∣≥Cn,ϵNn−ϵ.|S|\geq C_{n,\epsilon}N^{n-\epsilon}.

The conjecture gives a near-full-dimensional lower bound for Kakeya sets over Z/NZ\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}, uniformly for general NN. The source states that this conjecture is resolved in the paper, so its status is solved.
