We relate the growth rate lim log N(k)/log k to the exponent of a zeta function naturally defined on the semigroup and, in case S is a semigroup of volume-preserving automorpisms, to the Hausdorff and box dimensions of the limit set of the induced semigroup of automorphisms on the corresponding projective space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-01T18:04:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37C30", "47D03", "47H20", "53A20" ], "keywords": [ "exponential growth", "linear automorphisms", "hausdorff dimension", "self-projective ifs", "growth rate lim log" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 66, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.0250D" } } }
