The parabolic map f1/e(z)=(1/e)e

We consider the exponential maps ?_λ : ? → ? defined by the formula ?_λ (z) = λe^z, λ(0,1/e]. Let J_r(?_λ) be the subset of the Julia set consisting of points that do not escape to infinity under forward iterates of ?. Our main result is that the function λh_λ :=HD(J_r(?_λ),)), λ(0, 1/e], is continuons at the point 1/e. As a preparation for this result we deal with the map ?₁/e itself. We prove that the h₁/e-dimensional Hausdorff measure of J_r(?₁/e) is positive and finite on each horizontal strip, and that the h₁/e-dimensional packing measure of J_r(?_λ) is locally infinite at each point of J_r(?_λ). Our main technical devices are formed by the, associated with ?_λ, maps F_λ defined on some strip P of height 2π and also associated with them tonformal measures.
