On the Hausdorff dimension of circular Furstenberg sets

Abstract: For

0 l e q s l e q 1

and

0 l e q t l e q 3

, a set

F s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{2}

is called a circular

(s, t)

-Furstenberg set if there exists a family of circles

m a t h c a l S

of Hausdorff dimension

d i m_{m a t h r m H} m a t h c a l S g e q t

such that

dim_{mathrm{H}} (F cap S) geq s, qquad S in mathcal{S}.

We prove that if

0 l e q t l e q s l e q 1

, then every circular

(s, t)

-Furstenberg set

F s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{2}

has Hausdorff dimension

d i m_{m a t h r m H} F g e q s + t

. The case

s = 1

follows from earlier work of Wolff on circular Kakeya sets.
