Almost all non-archimedean Kakeya sets have measure zero
Confluentes Mathematici, Volume 10 (2018) no. 1, pp. 3-40.

We study Kakeya sets over local non-archimedean fields with a probabilistic point of view: we define a probability measure on the set of Kakeya sets as above and prove that, according to this measure, almost all non-archimedean Kakeya sets are neglectable according to the Haar measure. We also discuss possible relations with the non-archimedean Kakeya conjecture.
