We consider unions of S L (2) lines in R3. These are lines of the form L=(a,b,0)+span(c,d,1) where ab-cd=1. We show that if L is a Kakeya set of S L (2) lines, then the union U L has Hausdorff dimension 3. This answers a question of Wang and Zahl. The S L (2) lines can be identified with horizontal lines in the first Heisenberg group, and we obtain the main result as a corollary of a more general statement concerning unions of horizontal lines. This statement is established via a point-line duality principle between horizontal and conical lines in R3, combined with recent work on restricted families of projections to planes, due to Gan, Guo, Guth, Harris, Maldague and Wang. Our result also has a corollary for Nikodym sets associated with horizontal lines, which answers a special case of a question of Kim.

On the dimension of Kakeya sets in the first Heisenberg group
Liu, Jiayin (American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2022)We define Kakeya sets in the Heisenberg group and show that the Heisenberg Hausdorff dimension of Kakeya sets in the first Heisenberg group is at least 3. This lower bound is sharp since, under our definition, the {xoy}-plane ... -
Semigenerated Carnot algebras and applications to sub-Riemannian perimeter
Le Donne, Enrico; Moisala, Terhi (Springer, 2021)This paper contributes to the study of sets of finite intrinsic perimeter in Carnot groups. Our intent is to characterize in which groups the only sets with constant intrinsic normal are the vertical half-spaces. Our ... -
Dimension of Heisenberg Kakeya sets and circular Furstenberg sets
Liu, Jiayin (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2024)This thesis studies the Hausdorff dimension of variants of Kakeya sets in Rn. It consists of an introduction and three papers. In paper [A], we define Kakeya sets in the n-th Heisenberg group and show the sharp lower bound ... -
Small things matter : of phages and antibiotic resistance conferring plasmids
Mattila, Sari (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Viruses and plasmids are small units of genetic material dependent on cells either transiently or continuously. Intriguingly, stories of these small entities intertwine in antibiotic resistance crisis. Horizontal gene ... -
