Abstract: For any $1\le\alpha\le n$, there is a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ of (Hausdorff) dimension $\alpha$ whose dimension cannot be lowered by any quasiconformal map $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n$. We conjecture that no such set exists in the case $\alpha<1$. More generally, we identify a broad class of metric spaces whose Hausdorff dimension is minimal among quasisymmetric images.
