On volumes determined by subsets of Euclidean space

Abstract: Given

E s u b s e t {B b b R}^{d}

, define the emph{volume set} of

E

,

m a t h c a l V (E) = d e t (x^{1}, x^{2}, ... x^{d}) : x^{j} i n E

. In

R^{3}

, we prove that

m a t h c a l V (E)

has positive Lebesgue measure if either the Hausdorff dimension of

E s u b s e t B b b R^{3}

is greater than 13/5, or

E

is a product set of the form

E = B_{1} i m e s B_{2} i m e s B_{3}

with

B_{j} s u b s e t R,, d i m_{m a t h c a l H} (B_{j}) > 2 / 3,, j = 1, 2, 3

. We show that the same conclusion holds for

V (E)

of Salem subsets

E s u b s e t R^{d}

with

h d e > d - 1

, and give applications to discrete combinatorial geometry.
