Orponen's radial projection dimension conjecture

Let XRdX\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a Borel set, with dimH(X)d1\operatorname{dim_H}(X)\leq d-1, that is not contained in a hyperplane. For yXy\in X, let

\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 Sd1S^{d-1}. Orponen's radial projection conjecture.

supyXdimH(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.
