The Kakeya set conjecture in four dimensions (Hausdorff dimension)

Theorem 1.1: if K⊂R4K\subset\mathbb R^4 contains, for every e∈S3e\in S^3, a segment {ae+te:0≤t≤1}\{a_e+te:0\le t\le1\}, then dim⁡HK=4\dim_H K=4. No measurability, compactness, stickiness or packing-dimension hypothesis is imposed. The paper also derives packing and Minkowski-dimension consequences, a projection lower bound in higher dimensions, and Nikodym and curved-Kakeya applications via cited transfers. It does NOT prove the four-dimensional Kakeya maximal conjecture, and does not settle the conjecture in dimension five or higher.
