Affine embeddings and intersections of Cantor sets

Abstract: Let

E, F s u b s e t R^{d}

be two self-similar sets. Under mild conditions, we show that

F

can be

C^{1}

-embedded into

E

if and only if it can be affinely embedded into

E

; furthermore if

F

can not be affinely embedded into

E

, then the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection

E c a p f (F)

is strictly less than that of

F

for any

C^{1}

-diffeomorphism

f

on

R^{d}

. Under certain circumstances, we prove the logarithmic commensurability between the contraction ratios of

E

and

F

if

F

can be affinely embedded into

E

. As an application, we show that

d i m_{H} E c a p f (F) < m i n d i m_{H} E, d i m_{H} F

when

E

is any Cantor-

p

set and

F

any Cantor-

q

set, where

p, q g e q 2

are two integers with

l o g p / l o g q o t i n Q

. This is related to a conjecture of Furtenberg about the intersections of Cantor sets.
