Quasicircle
In geometry, a quasicircle is a Jordan curve which is the image of a Euclidean circle under a quasiconformal mapping of the plane to itself.
A quasicircle may be characterised as a Jordan curve which is set-wise invariant under a quasiconformal mapping.[1]
Quasiconformal mappings do not necessarily preserve Hausdorff dimension. It has been established by Stanislav Smirnov[2] that a quasicircle which is the image of a circle under K-quasiconformal map has Hausdorff dimension bounded above by 1+k2 where the parameter k is defined as
