Abstract

The Bernoulli convolution νλ\nu_\lambda with parameter λ(0,1)\lambda\in(0,1) is the probability measure supported on R\mathbf{R} that is the law of the random variable ±λn\sum\pm\lambda^n, where the ±\pm are independent fair coin-tosses. We prove that dimνλ=1\dim\nu_\lambda=1 for all transcendental λ(1/2,1)\lambda\in(1/2,1).
