Dimensions of intersections and distance sets for polyhedral norms (Q2501029)

The author obtains an estimate for the typical Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of a set \(E\) with homothetic copies of a set \(F\), where \(E\) and \(F\) are Borel subsets in the \(n\)-dimensional space. The result is applied to the `distance set problem' for a polyhedral norm on the \(n\)-dimensional space, by showing that there are subsets of full dimension with distance set of Lebesgue measure zero.
