Hausdorff dimension of boundaries of relatively hyperbolic groups

Leonid Potyagailo and Wen-yuan Yang

Geometry & Topology 23 (2019) 1779–1840
Abstract

We study the Hausdorff dimension of the Floyd and Bowditch boundaries of a relatively hyperbolic group, and show that, for the Floyd metric and shortcut metrics, they are both equal to a constant times the growth rate of the group.

In the proof, we study a special class of conical points called uniformly conical points and establish that, in both boundaries, there exists a sequence of Alhfors regular sets with dimension tending to the Hausdorff dimension and these sets consist of uniformly conical points.
