Pinned dot product measure conjecture

Let ARnA\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a Borel set, and for a,xRna,x\in\mathbb{R}^n define the pinned dot product set

Πxa(A)={αR:(ax)y=α for some yA}.\Pi_x^a(A)=\{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}:(a-x)\cdot y=\alpha\text{ for some }y\in A\}.

In particular, Π0a(A)\Pi_0^a(A) is the dot product set pinned at aa. Pinned dot product measure conjecture. If

dim(A)>n2,\dim(A)>\frac{n}{2},

then there exists a pin aAa\in A such that

H1(Π0a(A))>0.\mathcal H^1\bigl(\Pi_0^a(A)\bigr)>0.

This conjecture is motivated by the Falconer distance conjecture and by the paper's translated pinned dot product results, which attain the same dimensional threshold. Its resolution is not stated in the supplied text.
