TL;DR
The paper establishes that, for Dvoretzky random coverings with non-Shepp gaps and $D_\ell<1$, the uncovered set $K_\ell$ is almost surely a Salem set with $\dim_{\mathcal{F}} K_\ell=\dim_{\mathcal{H}} K_\ell=1-D_\ell$, conditional on a nondegenerate multiplicative chaos measure $\mu_{RC}$. It develops a vector-valued martingale framework to connect Fourier decay to fractal dimensions and introduces a translation-cancellation trick along with $L^1$-modulus and mean-oscillation controls to manage high-frequency Fourier terms in the absence of weak spatial independence. The analysis hinges on careful moment estimates for the martingale increments $D_k$, a dyadic frequency decomposition, and a zero-one law ensuring unconditional results. Overall, the work extends Salem-type analyses to a setting where classical independence is unavailable, by combining probabilistic martingale methods with harmonic-analysis techniques for random fractals on the circle.
Abstract
We establish the Salem properties for the uncovered sets in the celebrated Dvoretzky random coverings of the unit circle.
