Abstract

In this paper we study the connection between the analytic capacity of a set and the size of its orthogonal projections. More precisely, we prove that if is compact and is a Borel measure supported on , then the analytic capacity of satisfies

where is some positive constant, is an arbitrary interval, and is the image measure of by , the orthogonal projection onto the line . This result is related to an old conjecture of Vitushkin about the relationship between the Favard length and analytic capacity. We also prove a generalization of the above inequality to higher dimensions which involves related capacities associated with signed Riesz kernels.
