Metric properties of mean wiggly continua
  We study lower and upper bounds of the Hausdorff dimension for sets which are wiggly at scales of positive density. The main technical ingredient is a construction, for every continuum K, of a Borel probabilistic measure \mu with the property that on every ball B(x,r), with x in K, the measure is bounded by a universal constant multiple of r\exp(-g(x,r)), where g(x,r) > 0 is an explicit function. The continuum K is mean wiggly at exactly those points x in K where g(x, r) has a logarithmic growth to infinity as r goes to 0. The theory of mean wiggly continua leads, via the product formula for dimensions, to new estimates of the Hausdorff dimension for Cantor sets. We prove also that asymptotically flat sets are of Hausdorff dimension 1 and that asymptotically non-porous continua are of the maximal dimension. Another application of the theory is geometric Bowen's dichotomy for Topological Collet-Eckmann maps in rational dynamics. In particular, mean wiggly continua are dynamically natural as they occur as Julia sets of quadratic polynomials for parameters from a generic set on the boundary of the Mandelbrot set.
