The paper extends Hodge-de Rham theory to higher-dimensional Sierpinski gaskets.

Classifies horocycle flow closures in hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

J. Kigami has laid the foundations of what is now known as analysis on fractals, by allowing the construction of an operator of the same nature of the Laplacian, defined locally, on graphs having a fractal character. The Sierpinski gasket stands out of the best known example. It has, since then, been taken up, develope…

We consider (locally) energy finite coordinates associated with a strongly local regular Dirichlet form on a metric measure space. We give coordinate formulas for substitutes of tangent spaces, for gradient and divergence operators and for the infinitesimal generator. As examples we discuss Euclidean spaces, Riemannian…

A brief historical perspective is first given concerning financial crashes, - from the 17th till the 20th century. In modern times, it seems that log periodic oscillations are found before crashes in several financial indices. The same is found in sand pile avalanches on Sierpinski gaskets. A discussion pertains to the…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of asymptotic self-similar sets on general doubling metric spaces by extending the notion of self-similar sets, and determine their Hausdorff dimensions, which gives an extension of Balogh and Rohner 's result. This is carried out by introducing the notions of almost similarity ma…

Study shows Julia sets and gasket limit sets are quasiconformally different.

New subharmonicity concept proves conjecture on Riemannian manifolds.

We obtain a nature generalization for an affine Sierpinski carpet and Sierpinski triangle to $n$-dimensional space, by using the generations and characterizations of affinely-equivalent Sierpinski carpet. Exactly, in this paper, a Menger sponge and Sierpinski simplex in $4$-dimensional space could be drawn out clearly …

The paper studies the dimension of limit sets using variational principles and stationary measures.

The paper shows how certain groups' boundaries relate to the Sierpiński carpet.

Uniform bounds found for Sierpinski carpet hyperbolic components.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a hyperbolic Coxeter group with planar nerve to have Sierpiński curve as its Gromov boundary.

Characterizes Coxeter groups with specific boundary shapes.

For arbitrary integer n, we describe a large class of right-angled Coxeter systems for which the visual baundary (of the corresponding Coxeter-Davis complex) is homeomorphic to the n-dimensional Sierpiński compactum. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a planar simplicial complex L under which the …

Knots can be embedded into fractals like the Menger Sponge and Sierpinski Tetrahedron.

For n>6, we show that if G is a torsion-free hyperbolic group whose visual boundary is an (n-2)-dimensional Sierpinski space, then G=π_1(W) for some aspherical n-manifold W with nonempty boundary. Concerning the converse, we construct, for each n>3, examples of aspherical manifolds with boundary, whose fundamental grou…

We study a new class of square Sierpiński carpets $F_{n,p}$ ($5\leq n, 1\leq p<\frac{n}{2}-1$) on $\mathbb{S}^2$, which are not quasisymmetrically equivalent to the standard Sierpiński carpets. We prove that the group of quasisymmetric self-maps of each $F_{n,p}$ is the Euclidean isometry group. We also establish that …

This paper constructs a continuous decomposition of the Sierpiński curve into acyclic continua one of which is an arc. This decomposition is then used to construct another continuous decomposition of the Sierpiński curve. The resulting decomposition space is homeomorphic to the continuum obtained from taking the Sierpi…

This paper deals with both complex dynamical systems and conformal iterated function systems. We study finitely generated expanding semigroups of rational maps with overlaps on the Riemann sphere. We show that if a $d$-parameter family of such semigroups satisfies the transversality condition, then for almost every par…

A carpet is a metric space homeomorphic to the Sierpinski carpet. We characterize, within a certain class of examples, non-self-similar carpets supporting curve families of nontrivial modulus and supporting Poincaré inequalities. Our results yield new examples of compact doubling metric measure spaces supporting Poinca…

The paper studies limit sets on $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ using stationary measures.

If a torsion-free hyperbolic group G has 1-dimensional boundary, then the boundary is a Menger curve or a Sierpinski carpet provided G does not split over a cyclic group. When the boundary of G is a Sierpinski carpet we show that G is a quasi-convex subgroup of a 3-dimensional hyperbolic Poincare duality group. We also…

A generic finite presentation defines a word hyperbolic group whose boundary is homeomorphic to the Menger curve. In this article, we produce the first known examples of non-hyperbolic $CAT(0)$ groups whose visual boundary is homeomorphic to the Menger curve. The examples in question are the Coxeter groups whose nerve …

Study of elementary planes in Apollonian orbifold with unusual equidistribution.

The paper examines properties of self-affine Sierpiński sponges using metric invariants.

The paper deals with the possibly degenerate behaviour of the exterior derivative operator defined on $1$-forms on metric measure spaces. The main examples we consider are the non self-similar Sierpinski carpets recently introduced by Mackay, Tyson and Wildrick. Although topologically one-dimensional, they may have pos…

This paper classifies fundamental groups of perforated surfaces.

We present recent results on counting and distribution of circles in a given circle packing invariant under a geometrically finite Kleinian group and discuss how the dynamics of flows on geometrically finite hyperbolic $3$ manifolds are related. Our results apply to Apollonian circle packings, Sierpinski curves, Schott…

We construct a Fredholm module on self-similar sets such as the Cantor dust, the Sierpinski carpet and the Menger sponge. Our construction is a higher dimensional analogue of Connes' combinatorial construction of the Fredholm module on the Cantor set. We also calculate the Dixmier trace of two operators induced by the …

A theorem controls the relationship between dimensions of continua.

Estimates heat kernel gradients on fractal-like cable systems.

New framework links fractal complexity to separation dimension.

Given a probability measure on a finitely generated group, its Martin boundary is a way to compactify the group using the Green's function of the corresponding random walk. We give a complete topological characterization of the Martin boundary of finitely supported random walks on relatively hyperbolic groups with virt…

Proves convergence groups on a 2-sphere are Kleinian groups.

We study quasi-isometry invariants of Gromov hyperbolic spaces, focussing on the l_p-cohomology and closely related invariants such as the conformal dimension, combinatorial modulus, and the Combinatorial Loewner Property. We give new constructions of continuous l_p-cohomology, thereby obtaining information about the l…

Survey explores interactions between four conformal dynamics branches.

The average shadowing property is considered for set-valued dynamical systems, generated by parameterized IFS, which are uniformly contracting, or conjugacy, or products of such ones. We also prove that if a continuous surjective IFS F on a compact metric space X has the aver- age shadowing property, then every point x…

We show that every inner metric space X is the metric quotient of a complete R-tree via a free isometric action, which we call the covering R-tree of X. The quotient mapping is a weak submetry (hence, open) and light. In the case of compact 1-dimensional geodesic space X, the free isometric action is via a subgroup of …

The paper studies degenerations of rational maps and their limits as geometrically finite rational maps.

In this paper we provide a classification theorem for 1-dimensional boundaries of groups with isolated flats. Given a group $Γ$ acting geometrically on a $CAT(0)$ space $X$ with isolated flats and 1-dimensional boundary, we show that if $Γ$ does not split over a virtually cyclic subgroup, then $\partial X$ is homeomorp…

Let P be a locally finite circle packing in the plane invariant under a non-elementary Kleinian group Gamma and with finitely many Gamma-orbits. When Gamma is geometrically finite, we construct an explicit Borel measure on the plane which describes the asymptotic distribution of small circles in P, assuming that either…

Study finds a measure for sponge components of Lalley-Gatzouras type.

New fractal spaces not quasisymmetric to Loewner spaces discovered.

Here we show existence of numerous subsets of Euclidean and metric spaces that, despite having empty interior, still support Poincaré inequalities. Most importantly, our methods do not depend on any rectilinear or self-similar structure of the underlying space. We instead employ the notion of uniform domain of Martio a…

New non-rigid discrete groups found in hyperbolic spaces.

We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $Γ$ on a topological manifold where the fixed sets for any element are contained in codimension two submanifolds, every orbit e…

A carpet is a metric space which is homeomorphic to the standard Sierpiński carpet in $\mathbb{R}^2$, or equivalently, in $S^2$. A carpet is called thin if its Hausdorff dimension is $<2$. A metric space is called Q-Loewner if its $Q$-dimensional Hausdorff measure is Q-Ahlfors regular and if it satisfies a $(1,Q)$-Poin…
