Abstract:

A compact set $K$ is self-conformal if it is a finite union of its images by conformal contractions. It is well known that if the conformal contractions satisfy the “open set condition” (OSC), then $K$ has positive $s$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, where $s$ is the solution of Bowen’s pressure equation. We prove that the OSC, the strong OSC, and positivity of the $s$-dimensional Hausdorff measure are equivalent for conformal contractions; this answers a question of R. D. Mauldin. In the self-similar case, when the contractions are linear, this equivalence was proved by Schief (1994), who used a result of Bandt and Graf (1992), but the proofs in these papers do not extend to the nonlinear setting.
