Fractal dimension conjecture for self-similar subsets of rings of integers
Let be a number field, let be its ring of integers, and let be self-similar with respect to polynomial maps of degrees and leading coefficients . For a fixed embedding , assume when is linear, and define the fractal dimension by the real number satisfying
Fractal-dimension conjecture. The above notion of fractal dimension for self-similar subsets of is well-defined and well-behaved with respect to inclusion: fractal dimension is independent of the choice of self-similarities and compatible with inclusion of self-similar subsets.
This generalizes the stated integer and Gaussian-integer setting, where dimension is asserted to be well-defined and monotone under inclusion. The source does not state whether the number-field version has been proved.
