Join this mathematics department seminar where Hong Wang from NYU presents research on Kakeya sets in R^3. Learn about compact sets in R^n that contain unit line segments pointing in every direction, and discover the proof of the Kakeya set conjecture in three dimensions, which states that such sets must have Hausdorff dimension 3. The presentation covers a more general statement about union of tubes that leads to this result, based on joint work with Josh Zahl.
