Several years ago, motivated in part by the challenging problem of studying the scattering of light from “fractal” surfaces, the physicist Michael V. Berry formulated a very intriguing conjecture about the vibrations of “drums with fractal boundary”. Extending to the “fractal” case a long standing conjecture of Hermann Weyl, he conjectured in particular that the high frequencies of such “fractal drums” were governed by the Hausdorff dimension of their boundary [1,2].
