Hausdorff-dimensional packing conjecture for special-linear symmetries

From papers

Let ER2E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2 be a compact set with Hausdorff dimension

dimH(E)=α.\dim_H(E)=\alpha.

Assume there is a set RSL2(R)R\subseteq\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}) of matrices such that θ(E)=E\theta(E)=E for every θR\theta\in R, and let dimH\dim_H denote Hausdorff dimension. Hausdorff-dimensional packing conjecture. If

dimH(R)>3α2,\dim_H(R)>\frac{3\alpha}{2},

then EE is contained in a line. This predicts that a planar compact set with sufficiently many special-linear symmetries must be degenerate; the source motivates it by analogy with packing-set results over the reals, and no resolution is given.
