Interior variant of Falconer's conjecture for pinned chain distance sets

From papers

Let ERdE\subset \mathbb{R}^d be compact with Hausdorff dimension dimH(E)>d2\dim_{\rm H}(E)>\frac{d}{2}. For nNn\in\mathbb{N} and xEx\in E, let Δxn(E)\Delta_x^n(E) denote the pinned nn-chain set of EE based at xx. Interior variant of Falconer's conjecture. For every nNn\in\mathbb{N}, there exists some xEx\in E such that

Δxn(E).\Delta_x^n(E)^{\circ}\neq\varnothing.

This strengthens Falconer's distance-set conjecture by requiring nonempty interior for every pinned chain length, rather than merely asserting a positive-dimensional or positive-measure distance set. The source provides motivation from interior results for distance sets and proves related constructions for suitable Cantor sets, but does not state that this conjecture has been resolved.
