On the Hausdorff dimension of pinned distance sets (Q2414531)

The paper is a contribution to the conjecture of \textit{K. J. Falconer} [Mathematika 32, 206--212 (1985; Zbl 0605.28005)] which says that for a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ with $d\geq 2$ and Hausdorff dimension $\dim_H A\geq d/2$ one has $\dim_H\Delta (A)=1$ where $\Delta(A):=\{|x-y|:x,y\in A\}$. The author proves that for a set $A\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$, for which the Hausdorff and packing dimension coincide and is $>1$, the set $\Delta_x(A):=\{|x-y|:y\in A\}$ has full Hausdorff dimension for all $x$ outside of a set of Hausdorff dimension 1.
