摘要

We develop a theory of quasisymmetries for finitely ramified fractals, with applications to finitely ramified Julia sets. We prove that certain finitely ramified fractals admit a naturally defined class of “undistorted metrics” that are all quasisymmetrically equivalent. As a result, piecewise-defined homeomorphisms of such a fractal that locally preserve the cell structure are quasisymmetries. This immediately gives a solution to the quasisymmetric uniformization problem for topologically rigid fractals such as the Sierpiński triangle. We show that our theory applies to many finitely ramified Julia sets, and we prove that any connected Julia set for a hyperbolic unicritical polynomial has infinitely many quasisymmetries, generalizing a result of Lyubich and Merenkov. We also prove that the quasisymmetry group of the Julia set for the rational function \(1-z^{-2}\) is infinite, and we show that the quasisymmetry groups for the Julia sets of a broad class of polynomials contain Thompson’s group F.
