Higher rank Furstenberg slicing

Abstract

Zoom Link

I will discuss upper bounds for the dimensions of the affine and smooth slices of Cartesian products of Cantor sets invariant under multiplication by p_i on the circle. These upper bounds generalize the case of linear slices of products of two invariant Cantor sets, which is the original Furstenberg slicing problem. The higher rank version requires several new tools and ideas. Joint work with Emilio Corso.
