We further obtain quantitative information about the size and $L^p$ regularity of the set of common distances of the artihmetic progressions contained in the subsets of $\\R$ under consideration, or in the case of sets in $\\R^d$, information on the size of the set of dilations which move a fixed $k+1$-point configuration inside of our set.", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v5", "updated": "2015-01-18T03:31:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A78", "42A32", "42A38", "42A45", "11B25", "28A75" ], "keywords": [ "fractional dimension", "long progressions", "uniformity norm", "point configuration inside", "term arithmetic progressions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1308.2919C" } } }
