Paper of Polina Vytnova on the Apollonian gasket published in Inventiones Mathematicae

The paper “Hausdorff dimension of the Apollonian gasket“, co-authored by Polina Vytnova and Caroline Wormell (University of Sydney) has been published in Inventiones Mathematicae (open access link here). In the paper, they develop an efficient method for solving the open problem of Hausdorff dimension, which allows them to compute the dimension of the gasket to […]
