This afternoon there will be an Analysis and Probability seminar talk by
Kyle Kinneberg, a postdoc at Rice. Kyle will speak about conformal
dimension. Hope to see you there!
Seminar Time & Location: 3:15pm in MSB 109A
Title: Conformal dimension of boundaries of planar domains
Abstract: The conformal dimension of a metric space is a quasisymmetric
invariant that is important in hyperbolic geometry. Motivated by
quasiconformal conjugation and equivalence problems for Kleinian limit
sets, Julia sets, and SLE curves, we investigate the conformal dimension of
boundaries of certain planar domains. We will focus primarily on the
boundaries of John domains and prove, building on some ideas developed by
M. Carrasco, that these have conformal dimension equal to 1.
