Abstract

The Brownian tree, also known as the continuum random tree, is a canonical random compact, geodesic R\mathbf R-tree that arises as the universal scaling limit for numerous models of discrete random trees. A key quasisymmetric invariant of a metric space is its conformal dimension, defined as the infimum of the Hausdorff dimensions over all quasisymmetrically equivalent spaces. This value is always bounded below by the space's topological dimension and above by its Hausdorff dimension. In the present paper, we prove that the conformal dimension of the Brownian tree is 11, matching its topological dimension.
