Lower bounds on the dimension of the Rauzy gasket

Dynamical Systems 2019-02-13 v1

Abstract

The Rauzy gasket RR is the maximal invariant set of a certain renormalization procedure for special systems of isometries naturally appearing in the context of Novikov's problem in conductivity theory for monocrystals. It was conjectured by Novikov and Maltsev in 2003 that the Hausdorff dimension dimH(R)\dim_{\mathrm{H}}(R) of Rauzy gasket is strictly comprised between 11 and 22. In 2016, Avila, Hubert and Skripchenko confirmed that dimH(R)<2\dim_{\mathrm{H}}(R)<2. In this note, we use some results by Cao--Pesin--Zhao in order to show that dimH(R)>1.19\dim_{\mathrm{H}}(R)>1.19.
