Restricted Hausdorff spectra of $q$-adic automorphisms
Abstract
Firstly, we completely determine the self-similar Hausdorff spectrum of the group of -adic automorphisms where is a prime power, answering a question of Grigorchuk. Indeed, we take a further step and completely determine its Hausdorff spectra restricted to the most important subclasses of self-similar groups, providing examples differing drastically from the previously known ones in the literature. Our proof relies on a new explicit formula for the computation of the Hausdorff dimension of closed self-similar groups and a generalization of iterated permutational wreath products. Secondly, we provide for every prime the first examples of just infinite branch pro- groups with zero Hausdorff dimension in , giving strong evidence against a well-known conjecture of Boston.
