Potential Theory on Sierpi ski Carpets

This self-contained book lays the foundations for a systematic understanding of potential theoretic and uniformization problems on fractal Sierpiski carpets, and proposes a theory based on the latest developments in the field of analysis on metric spaces. The first part focuses on the development of an innovative theory of harmonic functions that is suitable for Sierpiski carpets but differs from the classical approach of potential theory in metric spaces. The second part describes how this theory is utilized to prove a uniformization result for Sierpiski carpets. This book is intended for researchers in the fields of potential theory, quasiconformal geometry, geometric group theory, complex dynamics, geometric function theory and PDEs.

Reflects the most recent developments in the field The exposition is entirely self-contained Provides detailed proofs preceded by outlines for the convenience of the reader
