Relations between topological and metrical properties of self-affine Sierpiński sponges (Q2673012)

The authors investigate two Lipschitz invariants of metric spaces defined by \(\delta\)-connected components, called the maximal power law property and the perfectly disconnectedness. The first property has been studied in literature for some self-similar sets and Bedford-McMullen carpets, while the second property seems to be new. In Theorem 1.1, the authors proved that a fractal cube satisfies the maximal power law if and only if it has trivial points, i.e., it has a single point set as a connected component. For a self-affine Sierpiński sponge \(E\), they first show that \(E\) satisfies the maximal power law if and only if \(E\) and all its major projections contain trivial connected components (Theorem 1.2); secondly, they show that \(E\) is perfectly disconnected if and only if \(E\) and all its major projections are totally disconnected (Theorem 1.3).
