Consider the standard contact structure on the 3-sphere. The associated subriemannian metric has dimension 4. The Gromov comparison problem asks about how the Hausdorff dimension with respect to this subriemannian metric is related tothe Hausdorff dimension with respect to the usual (Riemannian) metric. We will look at this problem in the case of limit sets of discrete groups of complex hyperbolic isometries.
