contents The classic Besicovitch projection theorem asserts that if a set is purely $1$-unrectifiable with finite length in $\mathbb{R}^2$, its orthogonal projection has Lebesgue measure zero in almost every direction. In the opposite direction, the two-projection theorem states that if a Borel set has zero measure under orthogonal projections onto two distinct non-antipodal directions, it must be purely $1$-unrectifiable. We extend the two-projection theorem to certain families nonlinear projections and consider applications to pinned distance sets, radial projections, and curve projection operators. Further, we use a multiscale framework to obtain a quantitative version of our nonlinear two-projection theorem. Our arguments utilize methods introduced by Tao, who provided a quantitative treatment of the classic linear two-projection theorem.

The classic Besicovitch projection theorem asserts that if a set is purely $1$-unrectifiable with finite length in $\mathbb{R}^2$, its orthogonal projection has Lebesgue measure zero in almost every direction. In the opposite direction, the two-projection theorem states that if a Borel set has zero measure under orthogonal projections onto two distinct non-antipodal directions, it must be purely $1$-unrectifiable. We extend the two-projection theorem to certain families nonlinear projections and consider applications to pinned distance sets, radial projections, and curve projection operators.
