| contents | We show that a family of extremely thin sets satisfy the Erdős similarity conjecture. These examples lie outside the range covered by recent work of Shmerkin and Yavicoli \cite{ShmerkinYavicoli2025}. As we shall see, they have small logarithmic dimension. They do not contain affine copies of slowly decaying sequences, so the result does not follow from earlier work of Falconer and Eigen \cite{Falconer1984,Eigen}. On the other hand, they do contain sequences of rapid decay, for which the conjecture is still open in general. Our argument is based on Falconer lattice sets and a theorem of Bourgain \cite{Bourgain2003}. |
