Abstract

Devaney and Krych showed that for \(0<\lambda <1/e\) the Julia set of \(\lambda e^z\) consists of pairwise disjoint curves, called hairs, which connect finite points, called the endpoints of the hairs, with \(\infty \). McMullen showed that the Julia set has Hausdorff dimension 2 and Karpińska showed that the set of hairs without endpoints has Hausdorff dimension 1. We study for which gauge functions the Hausdorff measure of the set of hairs without endpoints is finite.
