The baker’s map with a convex hole

Abstract: We consider the baker's map B on the unit square X and an open convex set HsubsetX which we regard as a hole. The survivor set mathcalJ(H) is defined as the set of all points in X whose B-trajectories are disjoint from H. The main purpose of this paper is to study holes H for which dimHmathcalJ(H)=0 (dimension traps) as well as those for which any periodic trajectory of B intersects overlineH (cycle traps). We show that any H which lies in the interior of X is not a dimension trap. This means that, unlike the doubling map and other one-dimensional examples, we can have dimHmathcalJ(H)>0 for H whose Lebesgue measure is arbitrarily close to one. Also, we describe holes which are dimension or cycle traps, critical in the sense that if we consider a strictly convex subset, then the corresponding property in question no longer holds. We also determine delta>0 such that dimHmathcalJ(H)>0 for all convex H whose Lebesgue measure is less than delta. This paper may be seen as a first extension of our work begun in [3, 4, 6, 7, 13] to higher dimensions.
