Conformal uniformization of planar packings by disk packings (Q6110347)

The paper is devoted to Sierpiński packings and their uniformization. A Sierpiński packing is a collection \(\{p_i\}_{i\in\mathbb N}\), \(\text{diam}(p_i)\to0\) as \(i\to\infty\), of pairwise disjoint and non-separating continua in the Riemann sphere \(\hat{\mathbb C}\), and the set \(X=\hat{\mathbb C}\setminus\bigcup_{i\in\mathbb N}p_i\) is its residual set. The continua \(p_i\) are called the peripheral continua of \(X\). Round Sierpiński packings are such that their peripheral continua are closed disks. The main result of the paper shows that round Sierpiński packings can be used to parameterize a Sierpiński packing. In fact, this statement is a consequence of the more general uniformization Theorem 1.3. To each Sierpiński packing \(Y\) the author associates a topological sphere \(\varepsilon(Y)\) by collapsing all peripheral continua to points and introduces the notion of a packing-conformal map between \(\varepsilon(X)\) and \(\varepsilon(Y)\). Theorem 1.3. Let \(Y=\hat{\mathbb C}\setminus\bigcup_{i\in\mathbb N}q_i\) be a Sierpiński packing such that the diameters of the peripheral continua lie in \(\ell^2(\mathbb N)\). Then there exists a round Sierpiński packing \(X\) and a packing-conformal map from \(\varepsilon(X)\) onto \(\varepsilon(Y)\).
