Hausdorff measure of the escaping parameter without endpoints is zero for exponential family (Q1722046)

The Julia set of $\lambda e^z$, where $0<\lambda <1/e$, is a so-called Cantor bouquet, consisting of uncountably many pairwise disjoint curves (called Devaney hairs or rays) which connect a point in the plane (called the endpoint) with $\infty$. \par \textit{C. McMullen} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 300, 329--342 (1987; Zbl 0618.30027)] showed that the Julia set has Hausdorff dimension $2$, and \textit{B. Karpińska} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I, Math. 328, No. 11, 1039--1044 (1999; Zbl 0955.37024)] proved the surprising result that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of hairs without their endpoints is $1$. The latter result was sharpened by \textit{W. Bergweiler} and \textit{J. Wang} [Math. Z. 281, No. 3--4, 931--947 (2015; Zbl 1343.37024)] who showed that the Hausdorff measure of this set with respect to the gauge function $h(t)=t/(\log(1/t))^s$ is equal to 0 if $s>1$. \par In this paper a corresponding result for the parameter space is obtained. Using the parametrization $E_\kappa(z)=e^z+\kappa$ the authors consider the set $J=\big\{\kappa:E_\kappa^n (\kappa)\to \infty \ \text{as}\ n\to\infty\big\}$. \textit{M. Förster} and \textit{D. Schleicher} [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 29, No. 2, 515--544 (2009; Zbl 1160.37364)] proved that $J$ consists of hairs and \textit{W. Qiu} [Acta Math. Sin., New Ser. 10, No. 4, 362--368 (1994; Zbl 0817.30011)] proved the analogue of McMullen's result, i.e., that $J$ has Hausdorff dimension 2. \textit{M. Bailesteanu} et al. [Nonlinearity 21, No. 1, 113--120 (2008; Zbl 1142.37033)] proved the analogue of Karpińska's result, namely that if $E$ denotes the set of endpoints of the hairs in $J$, then $J\backslash E$ has Hausdorff dimension 1. \par The main result of the current paper is that $J\backslash E$ has Hausdorff measure $0$ with respect to the gauge function $h(t)=t/(\log(1/t))^s$ if $s>1$.
