The second half revisits an application of projective spectrum to the study of self-similar group representations made in [16]. In the case $\\pi$ is the Koopman representation of the infinite dihedral group $D_\\infty$ on the binary tree, it shows that the projective spectrum of $D_\\infty$ coincides with the Julia set of a rational map $F_\\pi: \\mathbb{P}^2\\to \\mathbb{P}^2$ derived from the self-similarity of $\\pi$. This improves the main result in [16].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-01-04T14:16:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "joint spectrum", "self-similarity", "projective spectrum", "amenability", "self-similar group representations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
