Abstract

We study the finitely generated Hausdorff spectrum of spinal automorphism groups acting on rooted trees. Given any α[0,1]\alpha \in [0,1], we construct a branch group GαG_\alpha such that GαG_\alpha has a finitely generated subgroup HH where HH has Hausdorff dimension α\alpha in GG. Using results by Barnea, Shalev and Klopsch we further deduce that the finitely generated Hausdorff spectrum of this group GαG_\alpha contains Lα([0,1]L)\mathcal{L}_\alpha \cup ([0, 1] \cap \mathcal{L}), where L\mathcal{L} is a countable subset of Q\mathbb{Q} and Lα\mathcal{L}_\alpha is a certain set of countably many irrational numbers in the interval [0,α][0,\alpha]. This answers a question of Benjamin Klopsch.
