Abstract: We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of $Esubsetmathbb{R}^d$, $dgeq2$ is greater than $fracd2+frac13$, the set of gaps of $2$-chains inside $E$, ${\displaystyle }$Delta_2(E)={(|x-y|, |y-z|): x, y, zin E }subsetmathbb{R}^2${\displaystyle }$ has positive Lebesgue measure. It generalizes Wolff-Erdogan's result on distances and improves a result of Bennett, Iosevich and Taylor on finite chains. We also consider the similarity class of $2$-chains, ${\displaystyle }$S_2(E)=left{frac{t_1}{t_2}:(t_1,t_2)inDelta_2(E) ight}=left{frac{|x-y|}{|y-z|}: x, y, zin E ight}subsetmathbb{R},${\displaystyle }$ and show that $|S_2(E)|>0$ whenever $di{m}_{mathcalH}(E)>fracd2+frac17$.

Review text

For a given set \(E\subset\mathbb{R}^d\), \(2\leq d\in \mathbb{N}\), let \(\Delta_2 (E) :=\{(|x-y|, |y-z|) : x,y,z\in E\}\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) denote the set of gaps of 2-chains in \(E\). The author proves that \(\Delta_2 (E)\) has positive Lebesgue measure provided that the Hausdorff dimension of \(E\) is greater than \(\frac{d}{2} + \frac{1}{3}\), thus improving an earlier result by \textit{M. Bennett} et al. [Anal. PDE 9, No. 3, 597--614 (2016; Zbl 1342.28006)]. In addition, the question of when the set of similarity classes of 2-chains has positive Lebesgue measure is addressed.
