On the Hausdorff dimension of minimal interval exchange transformations with flips. (English) Zbl 1473.37050

The authors consider linear upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of minimal interval exchange transformations with flips (fIETs). Special emphasis is given to transformations without periodic points, and to the set of non-uniquely ergodic minimal fIETs.
An fIET is a piecewise isometry of an interval to itself with a finite number of jump discontinuities, reversing the orientation of at least one of the intervals of continuity. fIETs generalize the notion of orientation-preserving interval exchange transformations (IETs). Each IET is the first return map to a transversal for a measured foliation on a surface.
The main results are:
(1) The Hausdorff dimension of the set \(MF_n\) satisfies \(n-2 \leq H \dim (MF_n) < n-1.\)
(2) For each \(n > 4\) the Hausdorff dimension of the set of non-uniquely ergodic minimal \(n\)-fIETs satisfies \(n-3 \leq H \dim (NUE_n).\)
3) For \(n = 5\) there holds \(H \dim (NUE_n) \geq \frac 5 2.\) This follows from a result in [J. S. Athreya and J. Chaika, Geom. Topol. 19, No. 6, 3537–3563 (2015; Zbl 1353.37066)].
