The Assouad dimension of Kakeya sets in \(\mathbb{R}^3 \) (Q6962895)

The authors show that for every Kakeya set \(K\subset \mathbb{R}^3\), there exist well-separated scales \(0 < \delta < \rho \leq 1\) such that the \(\delta\)-neighborhood of \(K\) is almost as large as its \(\rho\)-neighborhood. Hence, every Kakeya set in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) has Assouad dimension~3 and every Ahlfors-David regular Kakeya set in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) has Hausdorff dimension~3. It is also shown that every Kakeya set in \(\mathbb{R}^3\) that has ``stably equal'' Hausdorff and packing dimension must have Hausdorff dimension~3.
