Let f be a diffeomorphism of a manifold and Λ be an f-invariant set supporting an ergodic Borel probability measure μ with certain properties. A lower bound on the capacity of Λ is given in terms of the μ-Lyapunov exponents. This applies in particular to Axiom A attractors and their Bowen-Ruelle measure.
