AB - For K ⊂ C compact, we say that K has vanishing analytic capacity (or γ(K) = 0) when all bounded analytic functions on CK are constant. We would like to characterize γ(K) = 0 geometrically. Easily, γ(K) &gt; 0 when K has Hausdorff dimension larger than 1, and γ(K) = 0 when dim(K) &lt; 1. Thus only the case when dim(K) = 1 is interesting.
