The author considers the complex exponential maps \(E_\lambda(z) =\lambda e^z\), where \(z\in\mathbb{C}\) and \(\lambda\in (0,e^{-1})\), which has two real fixed points; the attracting \(p_\lambda\) and the repelling one \(q_\lambda\) with \(0<p_\lambda <1<q_\lambda\). Note that the basin of attraction of \(p_\lambda\) is an open, dense and simply connected subset \(\Omega_\lambda\) of \(\mathbb{C}\). It is known that, the Julia set \(J_\lambda\) of \(E_\lambda\) is a union of curves whose endpoints \(C_\lambda\) are the only accessible points from the basin of attraction. The author gives an answer to the following open question: What is the precise Hausdorff dimension of \(C_\lambda\)? The main theorem states that it is equal to 2. Furthermore the author proves that the Hausdorff dimension of the subset of \(C_\lambda\) consisting of those endpoints whose itinerary contains a finite number of symbols is greater than 1, but for small \(\lambda\) this dimension is close to 1 (independently of the number of symbols). The author also considers the set of endpoints for the family \(F_\lambda: z\mapsto 1/2i \cdot\lambda (e^{iz}-e^{-iz})\), \(\lambda\in (0,1)\) for which he proves that it has positive Lebesgue measure.
