Suppose that the maps in $\\Phi$ do not have a common fixed point, and that standard irreducibility and proximality assumptions are satisfied by their linear parts. We show that $\\dim\\mu$ is equal to the Lyapunov dimension $\\dim_{L}(\\Phi,p)$ whenever $d=3$ and $\\Phi$ satisfies the strong separation condition (or the milder strong open set condition). This follows from a general criteria ensuring $\\dim\\mu=\\min\\{d,\\dim_{L}(\\Phi,p)\\}$, from which earlier results in the planar case also follow. Additionally, we prove that $\\dim\\mu=d$ whenever $\\Phi$ is Diophantine (which holds e.g. when $\\Phi$ is defined by algebraic parameters) and the entropy of the random walk generated by $\\Phi$ and $p$ is at least $(\\chi_{1}-\\chi_{d})\\frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2}-\\sum_{k=1}^{d}\\chi_{k}$, where $0>\\chi_{1}\\ge...\\ge\\chi_{d}$ are the Lyapunov exponents. We also obtain results regarding the dimension of orthogonal projections of $\\mu$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-14T13:27:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80", "37C45" ], "keywords": [ "self-affine measure", "proximal systems", "strongly irreducible", "milder strong open set condition", "strong separation condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 89, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
