Feng–Hochman–Rogers contraction-ratio conjecture for affine embeddings

Let E,FRdE,F\subset\mathbb{R}^d be two totally disconnected non-trivial self-similar sets, generated by iterated function systems Φ={φi}iI\Phi=\{\varphi_i\}_{i\in I} and Ψ={ψj}jJ\Psi=\{\psi_j\}_{j\in J}, respectively. Let rir_i and rjr_j' denote the contraction ratios of φi\varphi_i and ψj\psi_j, respectively. Suppose that FF can be affinely embedded into EE. Feng–Hochman–Rogers conjecture. For each jJj\in J, there exist non-negative rational numbers ti,jt_{i,j} such that

rj=iIriti,j.r_j'=\prod_{i\in I}r_i^{t_{i,j}}.

In particular, if ri=rr_i=r for all iIi\in I, then

logrjlogrQ\frac{\log r_j'}{\log r}\in\mathbb{Q}

for all jJj\in J. This conjecture concerns the arithmetic dependence forced by affine embeddings between totally disconnected self-similar sets; the source provides no evidence of resolution.
