Abstract

We show that given $α \in (0, 1)$ there is a constant $c = c (α) > 0$ such that any planar $(α, 2 α)$ -Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension at least $2 α + c$ . This improves several previous bounds, in particular extending a result of Katz–Tao and Bourgain. We follow the Katz–Tao approach with suitable changes, along the way clarifying, simplifying and/or quantifying many of the steps.
