Abstract: The main result of this paper is the following. Given countably many multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients and maximum degree d, we construct a compact set EsubsetRn of Hausdorff dimension n/d which does not contain finite point configurations corresponding to the zero sets of the given polynomials. Given a set EsubsetRn, we study the angles determined by three points of E. The main result implies the existence of a compact set in Rn of Hausdorff dimension n/2 which does not contain the angle pi/2. (This is known to be sharp if n is even.) We show that there is a compact set of Hausdorff dimension n/8 which does not contain an angle in any given countable set. We also construct a compact set EsubsetRn of Hausdorff dimension n/6 for which the set of angles determined by E is Lebesgue null. In the other direction, we present a result that every set of sufficiently large dimension contains an angle epsilon close to any given angle.
