Hausdorff dimension for fractals invariant under the multiplicative integers

Dynamical Systems 2018-02-08 v2

Abstract

We consider subsets of the (symbolic) sequence space that are invariant under the action of the semigroup of multiplicative integers. A representative example is the collection of all 0-1 sequences (xk)(x_k) such that xkx2k=0x_k x_{2k}=0 for all kk. We compute the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions of these sets and show that they are typically different. The proof proceeds via a variational principle for multiplicative subshifts.
