Conformal dimension

In mathematics, the conformal dimension of a metric space X is the infimum of the Hausdorff dimension over the conformal gauge of X, that is, the class of all metric spaces quasisymmetric to X.[1]

Formal definition

Let X be a metric space and be the collection of all metric spaces that are quasisymmetric to X. The conformal dimension of X is defined as such

Properties

We have the following inequalities, for a metric space X:

The second inequality is true by definition. The first one is deduced from the fact that the topological dimension T is invariant by homeomorphism, and thus can be defined as the infimum of the Hausdorff dimension over all spaces homeomorphic to X.

Examples
  • The conformal dimension of is N, since the topological and Hausdorff dimensions of Euclidean spaces agree.
  • The Cantor set K is of null conformal dimension. However, there is no metric space quasisymmetric to K with a 0 Hausdorff dimension.

gollark: There are also, if NLP were not so bee, *many* useful approaches I could take to categorize things efficiently.
gollark: I'm likely to implement (eventually) fuzzy page name matching where it tells you stuff *like* what you spelt. Right now the search just looks for pages containing the same word (give or take endings, SQLite uses some "porter stemming" algorithm).
gollark: > "nice editor" sounds good. for instanceI mostly just mean that it will, for instance, keep your current indentation/list level if you add a newline. I can't think of much other useful stuff, markdown is simple enough.> it'd be cool to have a way to embed links to other notes a way that's as easy as adding a tenor gif to a discord messageYou can, it's just `[[link text:note name]]` or `[[note name]]` if they're both the same. "Nice editor" may include something which shows fuzzy matches > sematic taggingI thought about tagging but realized that "bidirectional links" were *basically* the same thing; if you put `[[bees]]` into a document, then the `Bees` page has a link back to it.
gollark: Δy/Δx, if you prefer.
