Existence of deterministic Cantor sets achieving the best FUP exponent in the continuous setting

Construct a deterministic Cantor set in R for which the h-neighborhoods satisfy the fractal uncertainty principle (1.1) with the best possible exponent 1 − δ in the continuous semiclassical Fourier transform framework, or determine whether such an example exists.

Background

While various deterministic results provide small improvements over the volume bound for δ-regular sets, no deterministic examples are known in the continuous setting that achieve the conjecturally optimal exponent 1 − δ for Cantor sets.

The authors explicitly note the lack of known deterministic constructions meeting this threshold in the continuous Fourier framework, marking this as an outstanding existence problem.

References

Moreover, for the deterministic case in all the ensembles above, no examples of Cantor sets are known to satisfy the FUP with the best possible exponent 1−δ in the continuous setting of R to the authors’ knowledge.
