Orponen's radial projection dimension conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

Let X⊂RdX\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a Borel set, with dimH⁡(X)≤d−1\operatorname{dim_H}(X)\leq d-1, that is not contained in a hyperplane. For y∈Xy\in X, let

πy(X)={x−y∣x−y∣:x∈X∖y}\pi_y(X)=\left\{\frac{x-y}{\lvert x-y\rvert}:x\in X\setminus\\{y\\}\right\}

be the radial projection of XX from yy onto Sd−1S^{d-1}. Orponen's radial projection conjecture.

sup⁡y∈XdimH⁡(πy(X))=dimH⁡(X).\sup_{y\in X}\operatorname{dim_H}(\pi_y(X))=\operatorname{dim_H}(X).

This conjecture was stated in the planar case by Orponen and is presented as plausible for all dimensions; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
