Abstract:
An highly active research area is concerned with finding conditions on sparse sets that ensure the existence of many geometric patterns. I will present some results in this direction connecting Newhouse thickness and its generalizations to higher dimensions, games of Schmidt type and the existence of an abundance of homothetic copies of small sets.
