We prove that if A is a Borel set in the plane of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension s > 1, then the set of pinned distances {|x − y| : y ∈ A} has full Hausdorff dimension for all x outside of a set of Hausdorff dimension 1 (in particular, for many x ∈ A). This verifies a strong variant of Falconer’s distance set conjecture for sets of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension, outside the endpoint s = 1.

We establish the dimension version of Falconer’s distance set conjecture for sets of equal Hausdorff and packing dimension (in particular, for Ahlfors-regular sets) in all ambient dimensions. In
In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, eﬀective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set E ⊆ R 2 of Hausdorﬀ

If $$E \subset \mathbb {R}^2$$ E ⊂ R 2 is a compact set of Hausdorff dimension greater than 5 / 4, we prove that there is a point $$x \in E$$ x ∈ E so that the set of distances \{ |x-y| \}_{y \in
We obtain new lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar Borel sets of dimension slightly larger than $1$, improving recent estimates of Keleti and

Let M be a compact d-dimensional Riemannian manifold without a boundary. Given a compact set E⊂M, we study the set of distances from the set E to a fixed point x∈E. This set is Δρx(E)={ρ(x,y):y∈E},
