Summary

The talk presents original research on the Hausdorff dimension of postcritical sets for infinitely satellite renormalizable quadratic polynomials. The speaker introduces the concept of satellite renormalization and its connection to near-parabolic renormalization. She defines high combinatorial types and discusses the structure of postcritical sets, which can be Cantor sets or hairy Cantor sets. Using McMullen’s criterion, she constructs nests of neighborhoods to estimate dimensions. Main results show that for hairy Cantor sets, all closed invariant subsets except the base Cantor set have Hausdorff dimension 2. In the case of unit fraction combinatorial types, a dimension paradox occurs: the union of hairs without endpoints has dimension 1, while the union of endpoints has dimension 2. The base Cantor set is shown to have dimension at most 1. The talk concludes with examples achieving various dimensions for the base Cantor set.
