Abstract

We establish power Fourier decay for equilibrium states of parabolic C1+αC^{1+\alpha} iterated function systems with overlaps satisfying a multiscale nonlinearity condition. This class includes the Lyons conductance measures νt\nu_t, 0<t<10<t<1, associated to Galton-Watson trees with equal weights yielding advance towards a conjecture of Lyons on the absolute continuity of νt\nu_t for small tt. Further applications include Patterson-Sullivan measures for cusped hyperbolic surfaces, extending the work of Bourgain and Dyatlov to parabolic settings, conformal measures for Manneville-Pommeau and Lorenz-type maps, and the construction of the first genuinely C1+αC^{1+\alpha} IFSs whose attractors have positive Fourier dimension but are not C1C^1-conjugate to linear IFSs. The proof combines the Bourgain-Dyatlov sum-product strategy with a multiscale induction approach that bypasses the use of spectral gaps for twisted transfer operators needed in several other works in the area.

Comments

v3: 48 pages, revised to include overlapping IFSs which gave new application to power Fourier decay of all Lyons conductance measures. Added discussion on the Lyons conjecture
