Harmonic Analysis of Fractal Measures

چکیده
We consider aane systems in R n constructed from a given integral invertible and expansive matrix R, and a nite set B of translates, b x := R ?1 x + b; the corresponding measure on R n is a probability measure and xed by the selfsimilarity = jBj ?1 P b2B ?1 b. There are two a priori candidates for an associated orthogonal harmonic analysis : (i) the existence of some subset in R n such that the exponentials fe iix g 2 form an orthogonal basis for L 2 (); and (ii) the existence of a certain dual pair of representations of the C-algebra O N where N is the cardinality of the set B. (For each N, the C-algebra O N is known to be simple; it is also called the Cuntz-algebra.) We show that, in the \typical" fractal case, the naive version (i) must be rejected; typically the orthogonal exponentials in L 2 () fail to span a dense subspace. Instead we show that the C-algebraic version of an orthogonal harmonic analysis, viz., (ii), is a natural substitute. It turns out that this version is still based on exponentials e iix , but in a more indirect way. (See details in Section 5 below.) Our main result concerns the intrinsic geometric features of aane systems, based on R and B, such that has the C-algebra property (ii). Speciically, we show that has an orthogonal harmonic analysis (in the sense (ii)) if the system (R; B) satisses some speciic symmetry conditions (which are geometric in nature). Our conditions for (ii) are stated in terms of two pieces of data: (a) a unitary generalized Hadamard-matrix, and (b) a certain system of lattices which must exist and, at the same time, be compatible with the Hadamard-matrix. A partial converse to this result is also given. Several examples are calculated, and a new maximality condition for exponentials is identiied.

We describe a class of measurable subsets Ω in R such that L2(Ω) has an orthogonal basis of frequencies eλ(x) = e i2πλ·x(x ∈ Ω) indexed by λ ∈ Λ ⊂ R. We show that such spectral pairs (Ω,Λ) have a self-similarity which may be used to generate associated fractal measures μ with Cantor set support. The Hilbert space L2(μ) does not have a total set of orthogonal frequencies, but a harmonic analysis...

A family of the spread harmonic measures is naturally generated by partially reflected Brownian motion. Their relation to the mixed boundary value problem makes them important to characterize the transfer capacity of irregular interfaces in Laplacian transport processes. This family presents a continuous transition between the harmonic measure (Dirichlet condition) and the Hausdorff measure (Ne...
متن کاملHarmonic analysis and the geometry of fractals
Singular and oscillatory integral estimates such as maximal theorems and restriction estimates for measures on hypersurfaces have long been a central topic in harmonic analysis. We discuss the recent work by the author and her collaborators on the analogues of such results for singular measures supported on fractal sets. The common thread is the use of ideas from additive combinatorics. In part...

In the euclidean case the corresponding spectral asymptotics are derived by Besov space methods. The inverses of the Riesz potentials are fractal pseudo-diierential operators. For the Laplace operator the spectr...
