Bowen’s Formula for a Dynamical Solenoid

More than 50 years ago, Rufus Bowen noticed a natural relation between the ergodic theory and the dimension theory of dynamical systems. He proved a formula, known today as the Bowen’s formula, that relates the Hausdorff dimension of a conformal repeller to the zero of a pressure function defined by...

description More than 50 years ago, Rufus Bowen noticed a natural relation between the ergodic theory and the dimension theory of dynamical systems. He proved a formula, known today as the Bowen’s formula, that relates the Hausdorff dimension of a conformal repeller to the zero of a pressure function defined by a single conformal map. In this paper, we extend the result of Bowen to a sequence of conformal maps. We present a dynamical solenoid, i.e., a generalized dynamical system obtained by backward compositions of a sequence of continuous surjections <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mrow><mo>(</mo><msub><mi>f</mi><mi>n</mi></msub><mo>:</mo><mi>X</mi><mo>→</mo><mi>X</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>∈</mo><mi mathvariant="double-struck">N</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> defined on a compact metric space <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>X</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>d</mi><mo>)</mo><mo>.</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> Under mild assumptions, we provide a self-contained proof that Bowen’s formula holds for dynamical conformal solenoids.
