Graduate Student Proves the Fractal Uncertainty Principle

Recommendable! Until now I was only familiar with the Heisenberg Uncertainty/indeterminacy Principle in physics.

From the abstract (very short):
"We prove that if a fractal set in Rd avoids lines in a certain quantitative sense, which we call line porosity, then it has a fractal uncertainty principle. The main ingredient is a new higher dimensional Beurling-Malliavin multiplier theorem."
