Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Fractal geometry studies the fine structure of sets and measures. Its current methodology combines dynamical systems and geometric measure theory.
In this lecture course we will cover the basics of fractal geometry. We will discuss the following topics:
- quasi self-similarity of sets
- fractal sets through iterated function systems
- the role of symbolic dynamics in studying fractals
- definitions and comparison of different notions of dimension: box, packing, Hausdorff, etc
- dynamical dimension formulas
- measures on fractals
- applications to other fields (Number theory, probability theory, etc.)
If necessary, prerequisites from measure theory will be recalled as appropriate for methodology and proofs.
