"Analytic, geometric and combinatorial aspects of the Falconer distance conjecture"
The celebrated Falconer distance conjecture seeks to connect the Hausdorff dimension of a set and the Lebesgue measure of the corresponding set of distances. In the course of trying to solve this conjecture, some of the most powerful techniques from harmonic analysis and related areas were employed. We are going to describe these efforts and point out a number of intriguing connections between the Falconer conjecture and several interesting problems in analytic number theory and geometric combinatorics.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
