Finite configurations in sparse sets

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let EsubseteqRn be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension alpha. For mgeqn, let B1,ldots,Bk be nimes(mn) matrices. We prove that if the system of matrices Bj is non-degenerate in a suitable sense, alpha is sufficiently close to n, and if E supports a probability measure obeying appropriate dimensionality and Fourier decay conditions, then for a range of m depending on n and k, the set E contains a translate of a non-trivial k-point configuration B1y,ldots,Bky. As a consequence, we are able to establish existence of certain geometric configurations in Salem sets (such as parallelograms in Rn and isosceles right triangles in R2). This can be viewed as a multidimensional analogue of an earlier result of Laba and Pramanik on 3-term arithmetic progressions in subsets of R.
