We prove that the bound on the L p norms of the Kakeya type maximal functions studied by Cordoba [ 2 ] and Bourgain [ 1 ] are sharp for p > 2. The proof is based on a construction originally due to Schoenberg [ 5 ], for which we provide an alternative derivation. We also show that r 2 log (1/ r ) is the exact Minkowski dimension of the class of Kakeya sets in R 2 , and prove that the exact Hausdorff dimension of these sets is between r 2 log (1/ r ) and r 2 log (1/ r ) [log log (1/ r )] 2+ε . 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 42B25, 28A78.
