Affine embeddings of Cantor sets on the line (Q1621266)

Let \(s\in (0, 1)\) and \(F\subset {\mathbb R}\) a self similar set such that \(0 < \dim_H F \leq s\). The author proves that there exists \(\delta = \delta (s) >0\) such that, if \(F\) admits an affine embedding into a homogeneous self similar set \(E\) and \(0\leq \dim_H E - \dim_H F < \delta\), then (under some mild conditions on \(E\) and \(F\)) the contraction ratios of \(E\) and \(F\) are logarithmically commensurable.
