Abstract: Given a Cantor-type subset Omega of a smooth curve in mathbbRd+1, we construct examples of sets that contain unit line segments with directions from Omega and exhibit analytical features similar to those of classical Kakeya sets of arbitrarily small (d+1)-dimensional Lebesgue measure. The construction is based on probabilistic methods relying on the tree structure of Omega, and extends to higher dimensions an analogous planar result of Bateman and Katz. In particular, the existence of such sets implies that the directional maximal operator associated with the direction set Omega is unbounded on Lp(mathbbRd+1) for all 1leqp<infty.
