Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a (non-empty) Borel set which is not contained on any line. Then, for every Borel set $Y\subset \mathbb{R}^2$,

Figures (2)

  • Figure 1: An illustration of a point $x$, and a measure supported on $Y$ such that $(x,\nu)$ has $\sigma$-thin tubes for some $\sigma>0$.
  • Figure 2: A schematic diagram of a pair $(\mu,\nu)$ of measures with $(\sigma,K,c)$-thin tubes. For each $x \in X$, we can discard (on average) no more than $(1-c) \nu(Y)$ of the mass of $Y$ and have $(x,\nu)$ with $(\sigma,K,c)$-thin tubes in the sense of Definition \ref{['defn:thin-tubes-1']}.
