Dimensions of Kleinian orbital sets (Q6080840): Difference between revisions

Summary: Given a non-empty bounded subset of hyperbolic space and a Kleinian group acting on that space, the \textit{orbital set} is the orbit of the given set under the action of the group. We may view orbital sets as bounded (often fractal) subsets of Euclidean space. We prove that the upper box dimension of an orbital set is given by the maximum of three quantities: the upper box dimension of the given set, the Poincaré exponent of the Kleinian group, and the upper box dimension of the limit set of the Kleinian group. Since we do not make any assumptions about the Kleinian group, none of the terms in the maximum can be removed in general. We show by constructing an explicit example that our assumption that the given set is bounded (in the hyperbolic metric) cannot be removed in general.
