Abstract

It is shown that vertical projections in the Heisenberg group of sets of dimension strictly greater than 3 almost surely have positive area. The proof uses the point-plate incidence method introduced by F\"assler and Orponen, and also uses a similar approach to a recent maximal inequality of Zahl for fractal families of tubes. It relies on the endpoint trilinear Kakeya inequality in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Some related results are given on generic intersections with horizontal lines.
