McMullen [Mc] proved that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points escaping to infinity under forward iterates of fλ is equal to 2. In this paper we thoroughly investigate the geometric (fractal) and dynamical structure of the complement (in the Julia setJ(fλ)) of this set, which will be denoted in the sequel by Jr(fλ). Although our results apply to all functions fλ with attracting periodic cycles, we perform our analysis in great detail assuming that λ ∈ (0,1/e) and treat the general case briefly in Section 6. (In a forthcoming paper we treat in the same spirit a large class of nonhyperbolic functions fλ, including the case when λ∈ [1/e,∞).) Sincef is periodic with period 2πi, it is natural to identify points that differ by 2kπi and to consider (instead of f ) the mapF, our main technical device, defined on some stripP of height 2π. Armed with the mapF and the concept of tightness, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a probability conformal measure m (with an exponent greater than 1) for F and aσ -finite conformal measure for f. This powerful tool enables us in turn to prove that λ, the Hausdorff dimension of the setJr(fλ), is less than 2, that the hλ-dimensional Hausdorff measure of Jr(fλ) is positive and finite on each horizontal strip, and that the hλ-dimensional packing measure of Jr(fλ) is locally infinite at each point of Jr(fλ). The fact thathλ < 2 shows in particular that the equality of the hyperbolic dimension and the Hausdorff dimension, conjectured in the theory of iteration of rational functions, fails in the context of transcendental entire functions. Turning toward dynamics, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a Borel probabilityF -invariant ergodic measure equivalent with the conformal measure m. We do this by applying first the method of M. Martens to show the existence of a σ -finite F -invariant conservative ergodic measure equivalent with the measure m and then checking that this measure is finite. Our paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we prove that, for every λ, the Hausdorff dimension of the set Jbd(fλ) = {z ∈ J(fλ) : {f n(z)} is bounded}
