Huang's conjecture on local obstructions in Zaremba theory

About 6 years old · traced to

Let A⊂NA\subset\mathbb N be a finite alphabet and let XAX_A be its limit set. For each m∈Nm\in\mathbb N, define reduction modulo mm by

πm ⁣:Z+→Zm={0,1,2,…,m−1},πm(q)=q(modm).\pi_m\colon\mathbb Z_+\to\mathbb Z_m=\{0,1,2,\ldots,m-1\},\qquad \pi_m(q)=q\pmod m.

The alphabet AA has no local obstructions if, for every m≥1m\geq1, the set of denominators of reduced rationals represented by finite continued fractions with digits in AA has image Zm\mathbb Z_m under πm\pi_m. Huang's conjecture. If

dim⁡H(XA)>56,\dim_H(X_A)>\frac56,

then AA has no local obstructions. This predicts that sufficiently large Hausdorff dimension rules out every congruence obstruction to the Zaremba-type denominator problem; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
