Description

One measure of the complexity of a Julia set are various notions of "conformal dimension". We show how to estimate the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension sharply from above and below by using energies of maps between graphs, a refinement of the earlier theorem that characterized rational maps using similar energies. This is joint work with Kevin Pilgrim.
