Improved bounds on the dimensions of sets that avoid approximate arithmetic progressions (Q2657387)

One can note the following authors' description of the present research: ``We provide quantitative estimates for the supremum of the Hausdorff dimension of sets in the real line which avoid \(\varepsilon\)- approximations of arithmetic progressions. Some of these estimates are in terms of Szemerédi bounds. In particular, we answer a question of \textit{J. M. Fraser} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2019, No. 14, 4419--4430 (2019; Zbl 1460.28008)] and considerably improve their bounds. We also show that Hausdorff dimension is equivalent to box or Assouad dimension for this problem, and obtain a lower bound for Fourier dimension.'' The authors give a brief consideration which is related to the following similar problems: -- ``How large can the Hausdorff dimension of a set avoiding approximate arithmetic progressions be?'' -- The problem on the ``relationship between the size of a set and the existence of arithmetic progressions contained in the set''. Several auxiliary notions and remarks are given. The special attention is devoted to the notions of Salem sets and the Fourier dimension. Finally, two open problems are noted.
