Abstract
Let and . An -Furstenberg set is a set with the following property: there exists a line set of Hausdorff dimension such that for all . We prove that for and , the Hausdorff dimension of -Furstenberg sets in is no smaller than , where depends only on s and t. For and , this is an ϵ-improvement over a result of Wolff from 1999.
The same method also yields an ϵ-improvement to Kaufman’s projection theorem from 1968. We show that if , , and is an analytic set with , then
where depends only on s and t. Here is the orthogonal projection to the line in direction e.
