Abstract

Let h denote the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set J(T) of a parabolic rational map T. In this paper we prove that (after normalisation) the h-conformal measure on J(T) equals the h-dimensional Hausdorff measure Hh on J(T), if h ≥ 1, and equals the h-dimensional packing measure Πh on J(T), if h ≤ 1. Moreover, if h < 1, then Hh = 0 and, if h > 1, then Πh(J(T)) = ∞.
