Higher-dimensional projection dimension conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let E⊂RdE\subset\mathbb{R}^d and let V⊂G(d,d−1)\mathcal{V}\subset G(d,d-1) be Borel sets such that dim⁡HV>0\dim_{\mathcal{H}}\mathcal{V}>0 and V⊥\mathcal{V}^{\perp} is not contained in a great circle. Higher-dimensional projection dimension conjecture. There exists V∈VV\in\mathcal{V} such that

dim⁡HπV(E)≥min⁡{(d−1)dim⁡HE+dim⁡HVd,dim⁡HE,d−1}.\dim_{\mathcal{H}}\pi_V(E)\geq \min\left\{\frac{(d-1)\dim_{\mathcal{H}}E+\dim_{\mathcal{H}}\mathcal{V}}{d},\dim_{\mathcal{H}}E,d-1\right\}.

This conjecture proposes a sharp lower bound for the dimension of an orthogonal projection onto at least one hyperplane in a positive-dimensional, non-planar family of directions. The preceding construction shows that the corresponding upper-bound exponent is attained for Cartesian products, while the general lower bound remains open.
