Abstract

Bennett, Iosevich and Taylor proved that compact subsets of \({\mathbb R}^d\), \(d \ge 2\), of Hausdorff dimensions greater than \(\frac{d+1}{2}\) contain chains of arbitrary length with gaps in a non-trivial interval. In this paper we generalize this result to arbitrary tree configurations.
