Quasiconformal dimensions of self-similar fractals.
The Sierpinski gasket and other self-similar fractal subsets of Rd, d ≥ 2, can be mapped by quasiconformal self-maps of Rd onto sets of Hausdorff dimension arbitrarily close to one. In R2 we construct explicit mappings. In Rd, d ≥ 3, the results follow from general theorems on the equivalence of invariant sets for iterated function systems under quasisymmetric maps and global quasiconformal maps. More specifically, we present geometric conditions ensuring that (i) isomorphic systems have quasisymmetrically...
