Structure of sets with nearly maximal Favard length

Alan Chang, Damian Dąbrowski, Tuomas Orponen and Michele Villa

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 4, 1473–1500
Abstract

Let E B(1) 2 be an 1 measurable set with 1(E) < , and let L 2 be a line segment with 1(L) = 1(E). It is not hard to see that Fav (E) Fav (L). We prove that in the case of near equality, that is,

Fav (E) Fav (L) δ,

the set E can be covered by an 𝜖-Lipschitz graph, up to a set of length 𝜖. The dependence between 𝜖 and δ is polynomial: in fact, the conclusions hold with 𝜖 = Cδ170 for an absolute constant C > 0.

Keywords
Favard length, Besicovitch projection theorem, Lipschitz graph
