Ratio geometry, rigidity and the scenery process for hyperbolic Cantor sets
英文摘要：
Given a $C^{1+γ}$ hyperbolic Cantor set $C$, we study the sequence $C_{n,x}$ of Cantor subsets which nest down toward a point $x$ in $C$. We show that $C_{n,x}$ is asymptotically equal to an ergodic Cantor set valued process. The values of this process, called limit sets, are indexed by a Hölder continuous set-valued function defined on D. Sullivan's dual Cantor set. We show the limit sets are themselves $C^{k+γ}, C^\infty$ or $C^ω$ hyperbolic Cantor sets, with the highest degree of smoothness which occurs in the $C^{1+γ}$ conjugacy class of $C$. The proof of this leads to the following rigidity theorem: if two $C^{k+γ}, C^\infty$ or $C^ω$ hyperbolic Cantor sets are $C^1$-conjugate, then the conjugacy (with a different extension) is in fact already $C^{k+γ}, C^\infty$ or $C^ω$. Within one $C^{1+γ}$ conjugacy class, each smoothness class is a Banach manifold, which is acted on by the semigroup given by rescaling subintervals. Conjugacy classes nest down, and contained in the intersection of them all is a compact set which is the attractor for the semigroup: the collection of limit sets. Convergence is exponentially fast, in the $C^1$ norm.
