Abstract: We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $Asubsetmathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff dimension at least $37/54approx0.685$. Moreover, if $sin(1,3/2]$, then outside of a set of exceptional $y$ of Hausdorff dimension at most $1$, the pinned distance set $|x-y|:xinA$ has Hausdorff dimension $gefrac23s$ and packing dimension at least $frac14(1+s+sqrt3s(2-s))ge0.933$. These estimates improve upon the existing ones by Bourgain, Wolff, Peres-Schlag and Iosevich-Liu for sets of Hausdorff dimension $>1$. Our proof uses a multi-scale decomposition of measures in which, unlike previous works, we are able to choose the scales subject to certain constrains. This leads to a combinatorial problem, which is a key new ingredient of our approach, and which we solve completely by optimizing certain variation of Lipschitz functions.
