A (d, k) set is a subset of R d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane.Bourgain showed that for k ≥ k cr (d), where k cr (d) solves 2 k cr -1 + k cr = d, every (d, k) set has positive Lebesgue measure.We give a short proof of this result which allows for an improved L p estimate of the corresponding maximal operator, and which demonstrates that a lower value of k cr could be obtained if improved mixed-norm estimates for the x-ray transform were known.
