A Characterization of Hyperbolic Affine Iterated Function Systems

Geometric Topology 2009-08-12 v1

Abstract

The two main theorems of this paper provide a characterization of hyperbolic affine iterated function systems defined on Rm. Atsushi Kameyama (Distances on Topological Self-Similar Sets, Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics, Volume 72.1, 2004) asked the following fundamental question: given a topological self-similar set, does there exist an associated system of contraction mappings? Our theorems imply an affirmative answer to Kameyama's question for self-similar sets derived from affine transformations on Rm.
