In this paper, we consider Kakeya sets with the additional restriction that centers of the unit line segments belong to a given set. In particular, for every uncountable Borel set $A\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, we construct a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of Lebesgue measure zero that contains, in every direction, a unit line segment whose center lies in $A$. Notice that every such Kakeya set (not even necessarily compact) must have positive Lebesgue measure if $A$ is countable. So our result shows that the countability is in fact the only obstruction.
We consider infinite walks in $\mathbb{N}^k$ with standard unit basis vector steps that avoid $t$ collinear points, and show that these walks exist for $(k,t) \in \{(6,3), (4,4), (3,7)\}$. In particular, our construction for $k = 3$ improves the previous bound $189$, obtained by Lidbetter, to $7$. Our results also impl...

Let $n,d\geq1$, and suppose that $E\subset \mathbb{Q}_p^n$ contains a degree-$d$ polynomial image of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ in every leading direction of a nonempty set $V\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. We prove the sharp bound $\dim_H E\geq\dim_H V+1$. For joint block-valued polynomial evaluations, the total incidence...
We describe, with proof, an infinite class of examples of finite sets of integers $A$ for which $\|\widehat{1_A}\|_1\geq (c_\mathcal{R}-o_{|A| \rightarrow \infty}(1))\sqrt{|A|}$ where $c_\mathcal{R}=0.953\dots$.
We show that, unlike the lower central series, the dimension series of a Lie ring need not stabilize when two consecutive terms coincide; in fact, arbitrarily long finite plateaux occur. We prove that $D_n(L)/\gamma_{n+1}(L)$ is central in $L/\gamma_{n+1}(L)$ for every $n\geq1$, in contrast to the group case. If $c\geq...
For all $0<s \le 1$, we provide a new deterministic construction of Cantor sets whose Fourier dimension and Hausdorff dimension are both equal to $s$. The construction is based on a straightforward Cantor-Moran construction with contraction ratios given by reciprocals of integers. The key tool to obtain the fast Fourie...
We give a negative answer to Problem 17.39 of the Kourovka Notebook. For every odd prime power $q$ and every $m\geq1$, we construct a finite metabelian group $G_{m,q}$ with $Z_\infty(G_{m,q})=1$ and $|\Phi(G_{m,q})|=q$ for which the least number of system normalizers with trivial intersection is $m+1$. Thus the number...
