Abstract
We prove that for 1 ≤ k < d, if E is a Borel subset of Rd of Hausdorff
dimension strictly larger than k, the set of (k+1)-volumes determined by k+2 points
in E has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In the case k = d−1, we obtain
an essentially sharp lower bound on the dimension of the set of tuples in E generating
a given volume. We also establish a finer version of the classical slicing theorem of
Marstrand-Mattila in terms of dimension functions, and use it to extend our results
to sets of “dimension logarithmically larger than k”.
