Abstract
We give a new proof of a sumset conjecture of Furstenberg that was rst proved by Hochman and Shmerkin in 2012: if log r= log s is irrational and X and Y are r- and sinvariant subsets of [0; 1], respectively, then dimH(X + Y ) = min(1; dimHX + dimHY ). Our main result yields information on the size of the sumset X + Y uniformly across a compact set of parameters at xed scales. The proof is combinatorial and avoids the machinery of local entropy averages and CP-processes, relying instead on a quantitative, discrete Marstrand projection theorem and a subtree regularity theorem that may be of independent interest.
