Quantitative distortion and the Hausdorff dimension of continued fractions

We prove a quantitative distortion theorem for iterated function systems that generate sets of continued fractions. As a consequence, we obtain upper and lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of any set of real or complex continued fractions. These bounds are solutions to Moran-type equations in the convergents that can be easily implemented in a computer algebra system.

Scaling functions for graph directed Markov systems

We introduce the scaling function associated to a graph directed Markov system, and show that it is a Hölder continuous function of the dual symbolic Cantor set. With some natural separation and regularity conditions, each such system has a unique Cantor limit set in Euclidean space. We prove that the scaling function is a complete invariant of $ C^{1+α} $ conjugacy between limit sets. We conclude by relating the scaling function to the pressure, and discussing several applications to the dimension theory of limit sets.

Hausdorff dimension of Kuperberg minimal sets

In 1994, Kuperberg constructed a smooth flow on a three-manifold with no periodic orbits. It was later shown that a generic Kuperberg flow preserves a codimension one laminar minimal set. We develop new techniques to study the symbolic dynamics and dimension theory of this minimal set, by relating it to the limit set of a graph directed pseudo-Markov system over a countable alphabet.

Decompositions of Monomial Ideals in Real Semigroup Rings

Irreducible decompositions of monomial ideals in polynomial rings over a field are well-understood. In this paper, we investigate decompositions in the set of monomial ideals in the semigroup ring A[\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^d] where A is an arbitrary commutative ring with identity. We classify the irreducible elements of this set, which we call m-irreducible, and we classify the elements that admit decompositions into finite intersections of m-irreducible ideals.
