Abstract: One of the key challenges in the dimension theory of smooth dynamical systems is in establishing whether or not the Hausdorff, lower and upper box dimensions coincide for invariant sets. For sets invariant under conformal dynamics, these three dimensions always coincide. On the other hand, considerable attention has been given to examples of sets invariant under non-conformal dynamics whose Hausdorff and box dimensions do not coincide. These constructions exploit the fact that the Hausdorff and box dimensions quantify size in fundamentally different ways, the former in terms of covers by sets of varying diameters and the latter in terms of covers by sets of fixed diameters. In this article we construct the first example of a dynamically invariant set with distinct lower and upper box dimensions. Heuristically, this describes that if size is quantified in terms of covers by sets of equal diameters, a dynamically invariant set can appear bigger when viewed at certain resolutions than at others.

Review text

The author constructs a set with different upper and lower box dimension, which is invariant under an expanding toral endomorphism. This is the first example of a dynamical invariant set for which the box dimension does exist. For invariant sets of conformal dynamical system it is known that upper and lower box dimension and Hausdorff dimension coincide. So far we had examples of invariant sets of non conformal systems for which Hausdorff and box dimension do not coincide, but the box dimension of these sets exists. I think that the construction presented in the paper is of great importance for the dimension theory of dynamical systems.
