Falconer (1985) proved that Borel sets with Hausdorff dimension greater than (+) / have distance sets with nonzero measure. [2] He motivated this result as a multidimensional generalization of the Steinhaus theorem, a previous result of Hugo Steinhaus proving that every set of real numbers with nonzero measure must have a difference set that contains an interval of the form (,) for some >.
