It was conjectured by Novikov and Maltsev in 2003 that the Hausdorff dimension $\\dim_{\\mathrm{H}}(R)$ of Rauzy gasket is strictly comprised between $1$ and $2$. In 2016, Avila, Hubert and Skripchenko confirmed that $\\dim_{\\mathrm{H}}(R)<2$. In this note, we use some results by Cao--Pesin--Zhao in order to show that $\\dim_{\\mathrm{H}}(R)>1.19$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-12T17:42:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rauzy gasket", "lower bounds", "maximal invariant set", "renormalization procedure", "special systems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
