Abstract

Any planar shape PCP\subset \mathbb{C} can be embedded isometrically as part of the boundary surface SS of a convex subset of R3\mathbb{R}^3 such that P\partial P supports the positive curvature of SS. The complement Q=SPQ = S \setminus P is the associated {\em cap}. We study the cap construction when the curvature is harmonic measure on the boundary of (C^P,)(\hat{\mathbb{C}}\setminus P, \infty). Of particular interest is the case when PP is a filled polynomial Julia set and the curvature is proportional to the measure of maximal entropy.
