Fourier series and coefficients in several variables (42B05)

Abstract: We construct large Salem sets avoiding patterns, complementing previous constructions of pattern avoiding sets with large Hausdorff dimension. For a (possibly uncountable) family of uniformly Lipschitz functions

f_{i} : (m a t h b b T^{d})^{n - 2} o m a t h b b T^{d}

, we obtain a Salem subset of

m a t h b b T^{d}

with dimension

d / (n - 1)

avoiding nontrivial solutions to the equation

x_{n} - x_{n - 1} = f_{i} (x_{1}, d o t s, x_{n - 2})

. For a countable family of smooth functions

f_{i} : (m a t h b b T^{d})^{n - 1} o m a t h b b T^{d}

satisfying a modest geometric condition, we obtain a Salem subset of

m a t h b b T^{d}

with dimension

d / (n - 3 / 4)

avoiding nontrivial solutions to the equation

x_{n} = f (x_{1}, d o t s, x_{n - 1})

. For a set

Z s u b s e t m a t h b b T^{d n}

which is the countable union of a family of sets, each with lower Minkowski dimension

s

, we obtain a Salem subset of

m a t h b b T^{d}

of dimension

(d n - s) / (n - 1 / 2)

whose Cartesian product does not intersect

Z

except at points with non-distinct coordinates.
