Quantitative visibility estimates for unrectifiable sets in the plane

The "visibility" of a planar set $S$ from a point $a$ is defined as the normalized size of the radial projection of $S$ from $a$ to the unit circle centered at $a$. Simon and Solomyak (Real Anal. Exchange 2006/07) proved that unrectifiable self-similar one-sets are invisible from every point in the plane. We quantify this by giving an upper bound on the visibility of $\delta$-neighbourhoods of such sets. We also prove lower bounds on the visibility of $\delta$-neighborhoods of more general sets, based in part on Bourgain's discretized sum-product estimates

K-distance sets, Falconer conjecture, and discrete analogs

We prove a series of results on the size of distance sets corresponding to sets in the Euclidean space. These distances are generated by bounded convex sets and the results depend explicitly on the geometry of these sets. We also use a diophantine mechanism to convert continuous results into distance set estimates for discrete point sets.

A local smoothing estimate in higher dimensions

We prove the higher-dimensional analogue of Wolff's local smoothing estimate (Geom. Funct. Anal. 2001) for large p. As in the 2+1-dimensional case, the estimate is sharp for any given value of p, but it is likely that the range of p can be improved.
