Fraser", "István Kolossváry" ], "comment": "21 pages, 1 figure", "categories": [ "math.DS", "math.CA" ], "abstract": "We derive upper and lower bounds for the Assouad and lower dimensions of self-affine measures in $\\mathbb{R}^d$ generated by diagonal matrices and satisfying suitable separation conditions. The upper and lower bounds always coincide for $d=2,3$ yielding precise explicit formulae for the dimensions. Moreover, there are easy to check conditions guaranteeing that the bounds coincide for $d \\geq 4$. An interesting consequence of our results is that there can be a `dimension gap' for such self-affine constructions, even in the plane. That is, we show that for some self-affine carpets of `Bara\\'nski type' the Assouad dimension of all associated self-affine measures strictly exceeds the Assouad dimension of the carpet by some fixed $\\delta>0$ depending only on the carpet. We also provide examples of self-affine carpets of `Bara\\'nski type' where there is no dimension gap and in fact the Assouad dimension of the carpet is equal to the Assouad dimension of a carefully chosen self-affine measure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-21T18:15:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80", "37D20", "37C45" ], "keywords": [ "assouad dimension", "baranski type", "dimension gap", "self-affine carpets", "lower bounds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
