We show that there exist $(d-1)$ -Ahlfors regular compact sets $E \subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ , $d\geq2$ such that for any $t< d-1$ , we have $$\sup_{T} \frac{\mathcal{H}^{d-1}(E\cap T)}{w(T)^{t}}< \infty $$ where the supremum is over all tubes $T$ with width $w(T) >0$ . This settles a question of T. Orponen. The sets we construct are random Cantor sets, and the method combines geometric and probabilistic estimates on the intersections of these random Cantor sets with affine subspaces.

The classical Fej\'er's theorem is a criterion for pointwise convergence of Fourier series on the unit circle. We generalize it to locally compact groups.

We show that $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^2)$ provided that $s>1/3$. This result is sharp up to the endpoint. The proof uses polynomial partitioning and decoupling.

In this paper we will find optimal lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the fourth order equation with integrable potentials when the L1norm of potentials is known. We establish the minimization character-ization for the first eigenvalue of the measure differential equation, which plays an important role in the extremal problem of ordinary differential equation. The conclusion of this paper will illustrate a new and very interesting phenomenon that the minimizing measures will no longer be located at the center of the interval when the norm is large enough.
