Hausdorff dimension in quasiregular dynamics
Walter Bergweiler, Athanasios Tsantaris
TL;DR
The paper addresses the problem of prescribing the Hausdorff dimension of the fast escaping set $\mathcal{A}(f)$ for quasiregular maps of transcendental type in $\mathbb{R}^3$, showing that $\dim\mathcal{A}(f)$ can attain any value in $[1,3]$. The authors construct a 3D Zorich-type map using a beam partition controlled by a carefully chosen set $S$ and auxiliary maps $H$ and $G$, then obtain matching upper and lower bounds via a nested Cantor-type construction and distortion-control estimates. Under a growth condition on $M(r,f)$, they also prove a positive lower bound for the dimension of the Julia set, $\dim\mathcal{J}(f)\ge 1$, using capacity/modulus techniques. Altogether, the work extends planar results on escaping sets to three-dimensional quasiregular dynamics and highlights how capacity and modulus arguments, together with a geometric 3D Zorich construction, yield sharp dimension control for dynamical sets.
Abstract
It is shown that the Hausdorff dimension of the fast escaping set of a quasiregular self-map of ${\mathbb R}^3$ can take any value in the interval $[1,3]$. The Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of such a map is estimated under some growth condition.
