Dimension of Furstenberg measures on $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$
Abstract
Let be a finitely supported probability measure on , and suppose that the semigroup generated by is strongly irreducible and proximal. Let denote the Furstenberg measure on associated to . Assume further that no generalized circle is fixed by all M\"obius transformations corresponding to elements of , and that satisfies a mild Diophantine condition. Under these assumptions, we prove that , where and denote the random walk entropy and Lyapunov exponent associated to , respectively. Since our result expresses in terms of the random walk entropy rather than the Furstenberg entropy, and relies only on a mild Diophantine condition as a separation assumption, we are forced to directly confront difficulties arising from the ambient space having real dimension rather than . Moreover, our analysis takes place in a projective, contracting-on-average setting. This combination of features introduces significant challenges and requires genuinely new ideas.
