We characterise fractal sets arising from conformal iterated function systems (cIFS) and conformal graph directed Markov systems (cGDMS) for which the Minkowski content and the fractal curvature measures, as introduced in [Win08], exist. With this, we generalise studies that have been carried out for invariant sets of iterated function systems consisting of similarities. For self-conformal subsets of the d-dimensional Euclidean space we show, under certain geometric conditions, that the local average Minkowski content always exists and provide an explicit formula. If the system is non-lattice, we prove that also the local Minkowski content exists and coincides with its average version. From this general result we deduce new results for the subclass of self-similar sets, which significantly generalise the statements from [DKz10, LPW11]. For self-similar sets we additionally show that the fractal curvature measures exist in the non-lattice situation and that an average version exists for both lattice and non-lattice systems. With this, we provide a substantially different proof to those presented in [Win08, WZ10, Zah11] and gain alternative useful formulae for the fractal curvature measures. Another important subclass of self-conformal sets is the class of conformal C1+α-diffeomorphic images of self-similar sets, where α ∈ (0, 1]. We show that the local Minkowski content of such an image exists, whenever the local Minkowski content of the considered self-similar set exists. This new result also yields nice relationships between the local Minkowski contents of the self-similar set and its image. In contrast to the fact that the Minkowski content of a non-degenerate self-similar subset of R exists if and only if the system is non-lattice [LP93, Fal95, LvF06], we prove that there exist invariant sets of lattice cIFS for which the Minkowski content does exist. This surprising result is illustrated with examples and disproves Conjecture 4 of [Lap93] for self-conformal sets. We additionally show that even amongst the subclass of C1+α-diffeomorphic images of self-similar sets, there exist lattice sets for which the Minkowski content exists. However, we prove that the fractal curvature measures of such non-degenerate sets in R exist if and only if the underlying system is non-lattice. The importance of this subclass is emphasised by the result that a lattice cIFS in R, which consists of analytic maps, is automatically conjugate to a lattice system consisting of similarities. From this, we infer that the fractal curvature measures of a non-degenerate invariant set of a cIFS in R consisting of analytic maps exist if and only if the system is non-lattice. The above-mentioned results for systems, whose invariant set is a subset of R, are shown to be valid for the more general class of limit sets of cGDMS. Specifically, we show that the Minkowski content of a non-degenerate limit set of a cGDMS consisting of similarities exists if and only if the system is non-lattice, providing an important generalisation of the respective result for self-similar subsets of R. Further, we obtain that limit sets of non-lattice cGDMS are Minkowski measurable and by this verify Conjecture 4 of [Lap93] for limit sets of Fuchsian groups of Schottky type, since they are always non-lattice (see for instance [Lal89]).
