Abstract

We present a construction of a measure-zero Kakeya-type set in a finite-dimensional space $K^{n}$ over a local field with finite residue field. The construction is an adaptation of the ideas appearing in works by Sawyer [Mathematika34(1) (1987), 69–76] and Wisewell [Mathematika51(1–2) (2004), 155–162]. The existence of measure-zero Kakeya-type sets over discrete valuation rings is also discussed, giving an alternative construction to the one over $\mathbb{F}_{\ell }\unicode[STIX]{x27E6}t\unicode[STIX]{x27E7}$ presented by Dummit and Hablicsek [Mathematika59(2) (2013), 257–266].
