Abstract

Let h be the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of a rational map with no nonperiodic recurrent critical points. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for h-dimensional Hausdorff measure and h-dimensional packing measure of the Julia set to be positive and finite. We also show that either the Julia set is the whole Riemann sphere or h < 2 and that if a rational map (not necessarily with no nonperiodic recurrent critical points!) has a rationally indifferent periodic point, then h > 1/2.
