A Kakeya maximal estimate for regulus strips

Shukun Wu

Abstract

We prove Kakeya-type estimates for regulus strips. As a result, we obtain another epsilon improvement over the Kakeya conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^3$, by showing that the regulus strips in the ${\rm SL}_2$ example are essentially disjoint. We also establish an $L^p$ inequality regarding Nikodym-type maximal function in the first Heisenberg group.

Key Result

Theorem 1.5

Suppose $\mathcal{S}\subset \bar{\mathcal{S}}$ is a collection of regulus strips satisfying the two-dimensional ball condition two-dim-ball. Let $Y:\mathcal{S}\to[0,1]^3$ be a shading such that $Y(S)\subset S\cap[0,1]^3$ for any $S\in\mathcal{S}$. Let $\lambda\in(0,1]$. Suppose $|Y(S)|\geq \lambda |
