| contents | In 1971, Davies proved that finitely many parallel line segments can be simultaneously fully rotated in an arbitrarily small area. In this paper we show that an even stronger statement holds: The unit square can be fully rotated in such a way that each initially vertical line segment sweeps a set of small area.
A set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is said to have the strong Kakeya property if for any two of its positions, the set can be continuously moved between these two positions in an arbitrarily small volume. We use the above result to show that a wide family of sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$, for instance the curved surface of a cylinder, have the strong Kakeya property. |
