Using Theorem~\ref{thm:correlate}, we can either find a line in $A$, or find a simple set $B$ with $\ens{k}(B) \gtrapprox \delta$ \emph{within} which $\ens{k}(A) \gtrapprox \delta + \delta \cdot \eta_{\ref{thm:dhj-dv}}(k-1,1,\delta) \approx \delta + \delta \eta$.  By Lemma~\ref{lem:back-to-uniform}, we can obtain essentially the same relative density increment under the uniform distribution.  We now use Theorem~\ref{thm:partition} --- more precisely, Corollary~\ref{cor:multi-partition} --- to obtain this density increment on a $d$-dimensional subspace, as desired.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
