Polynomial Szemer\'edi for sets with large Hausdorff dimension on the Torus
Abstract
Let $\mathbb{P}= \{P_1, \cdots, P_{k}\in \mathbb{R}[y]\}$ be a collection of polynomials with distinct degrees and zero constant terms. We proved that there exists $\epsilon=\epsilon(\mathbb{P})>0$ such that, for any compact set $E \subset \mathbb{T}$ with dim(E)$>1-\epsilon$, we can find $y\neq 0$ so that $\{x,x+P_1(y), \cdots,x+P_k(y)\} \subset E$. The proof relies on a suitable version of the Sobolev smoothing inequality with ideas adapted from Peluse \cite{P19}, Durcik and Roos \cite{DR24}, and Krause, Mirek, Peluse, and Wright \cite{KMPW24}. As a byproduct of our Sobolev smoothing inequality, we demonstrated that the divergence set of the pointwise convergence problem for certain polynomial multiple ergodic averages has Hausdorff dimension strictly less than one.
