Cantor tree surface

From HandWiki - Reading time: 1 min

Short description: Fractal with infinite genus

The bark of a fractal tree, splitting in two directions at each branch point, forms a Cantor tree surface. Drilling a hole through the tree at each branch point would produce a blooming Cantor tree.
An Alexander horned sphere. Its non-singular points form a Cantor tree surface.

In dynamical systems, the Cantor tree is an infinite-genus surface homeomorphic to a sphere with a Cantor set removed. The blooming Cantor tree is a Cantor tree with an infinite number of handles added in such a way that every end is a limit of handles.[1][2]
