Abstract

We show that given α(0,1)\alpha \in (0, 1) there is a constant c=c(α)>0c=c(\alpha) > 0 such that any planar (α,2α)(\alpha, 2\alpha)-Furstenberg set has Hausdorff dimension at least 2α+c2\alpha + 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.
