The fractal uncertainty principle via Dolgopyat's method in higher dimensions

Aidan Backus, James Leng and Zhongkai Tao

Vol. 18 (2025), No. 7, 1769–1804
Abstract

We prove a fractal uncertainty principle with exponent 1 2d δ + 𝜀, 𝜀 > 0, for Ahlfors–David regular subsets of d with dimension δ which satisfy a suitable “nonorthogonality condition”. This generalizes the application of Dolgopyat’s method by Dyatlov and Jin (2018) to higher dimensions. As a corollary, we get a quantitative essential spectral gap for the Laplacian on convex cocompact hyperbolic manifolds of arbitrary dimension with Zariski-dense fundamental groups.
