%0 Journal Article %T The metric space of geodesic laminations on a surface: I %A Xiaodong Zhu %A Francis Bonahon %J Mathematics %D 2003 %I arXiv %R 10.2140/gt.2004.8.539 %X We consider the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff metric d_H and with a variation of this metric called the d_log metric. We compute and/or estimate the Hausdorff dimensions of these two metrics. We also relate these two metrics to another metric which is combinatorially defined in terms of train tracks. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0308267v4
