Weighted restriction estimates and application to Falconer distance set problem. (English) Zbl 1461.28003
For a compact subset \(E\subset\mathbb{R}^d\), define its distance set by
\[
\Delta(E) := \{|x-y| : x,y\in E\}.
\]
For \(d\geq 3\), the authors prove that if
\[
\dim E > \alpha, \quad\text{where}\quad\alpha:= \begin{cases} 1.8, & d=3\\
\frac{d}{2} +\frac14+\frac{d+1}{4(2d+1)(d-1)}, & d \geq 4, \end{cases}
\]
then \(|\Delta (E)| > 0\), where \(\dim E\) denotes the Hausdorff dimension of \(E\) and \(|\cdot|\) Lebesgue measure.
The proof relies on some weighted Fourier restriction estimates and employs polynomial partitioning and refined Strickartz estimates.
