Abstract:

In this paper, the question of which compact metric spaces can be attractors of hyperbolic iterated function systems on Euclidean space is studied. It is shown that given any finite-dimensional compact metric $X$, there is a Cantor set $C$ such that the disjoint union of $C$ and $X$ is an attractor. In the process, it is proved that every such $X$ is the Lipschitz image of a Cantor set.
