Equality conjecture for the Riesz capacity decay of strictly self-similar fractals

A compact set ARnA \subset \mathbb{R}^n is a strictly self-similar fractal if

A=i=1Nφi(A),A=\bigcup_{i=1}^N\varphi_i(A),

where φi(x)=LiUix+bi\varphi_i(x)=L_iU_ix+b_i with Li(0,1)L_i\in(0,1), UiU_i a unitary matrix, and the sets {φi(A)}i=1N\{\varphi_i(A)\}_{i=1}^N are disjoint. Let d>0d>0 be its Hausdorff dimension, and let σd(A)\sigma_d(A) denote its constant second-order density. Here Capp(A)\operatorname{Cap}_p(A) is the Riesz pp-capacity of AA.

Equality conjecture. If AA is a strictly self-similar fractal with dimension dd, then

limpdCapp(A)pdp=Hd(A)dσd(A).\lim_{p\nearrow d}\frac{\operatorname{Cap}_p(A)^p}{d-p}=\frac{\mathcal{H}^d(A)}{d\,\sigma_d(A)}.

The preceding result gives the corresponding lower bound for strictly self-similar fractals. The conjecture asks whether that lower bound is always sharp; the supplied text does not indicate whether the equality has been proved or disproved.
