Sets of large dimension not containing polynomial configurations (Q2012506)

The author builds a number of examples of compact subsets of \({\mathbb R}^n\) with prescribed properties. In particular, he shows that for any given countable collection of multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients and maximal degree \(d\) there exists a compact set \(E \subset {\mathbb R}^n\) of Hausdorff dimension \(n/d\) which does not contain finite point configurations corresponding to the zero sets of the given polynomials.
