The Thue-Morse system is a paradigm of singular continuous diffraction in one dimension. Here, we consider a planar system, constructed by a bijective block substitution rule, which is locally equivalent to the squiral inflation rule. For…
We revisit the well-known and much studied Riesz product representation of the Thue-Morse diffraction measure, which is also the maximal spectral measure for the corresponding dynamical spectrum in the complement of the pure point part. The…
We investigate a family of Riesz products and show that they can be regarded as diffraction measures of generalized Thue-Morse sequences, possibly over an infinite alphabet. These measures are closely related to the dynamical system arising…
The classic Thue--Morse measure is a paradigmatic example of a purely singular continuous probability measure on the unit interval. Since it has a representation as an infinite Riesz product, many aspects of this measure have been studied…
The classic middle-thirds Cantor set leads to a singular continuous measure via a distribution function that is know as the Devil's staircase. The support of the Cantor measure is a set of zero Lebesgue measure. Here, we discuss a class of…
Here, we study some measures that can be represented by infinite Riesz products of 1-periodic functions and are related to the doubling map. We show that these measures are purely singular continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure and…
We show that the images via $z\mapsto z^m$ of the continuous part of the spectral measures of the dynamical systems generated by the 0-1 sequences of the Thue-Morse type are pairwise mutually singular for different odd numbers $m\in\N$.…
The translation action of $\RR^{d}$ on a translation bounded measure $\omega$ leads to an interesting class of dynamical systems, with a rather rich spectral theory. In general, the diffraction spectrum of $\omega$, which is the carrier of…
The Thue-Morse sequence is an aperiodically ordered infinite binary sequence. It is used as a one-dimensional way to model the structure of a quasicrystal. For example, taking autocorrelations of these sequences (roughly, measuring how…
In this paper we study sums of Dirichlet series whose coefficients are terms of the Thue-Morse sequence and variations thereof. We find closed-form expressions for such sums in terms of known constants and functions including the Riemann…
We consider the family of singular potentials $\psi_c = 2 \log(|\sin(\pi(x-c))|)$, $c\in \mathbb{T}$ over the doubling map and we examine the dependence of several thermodynamic and multifractal characteristics on the position of the…
In this survey of the spectral properties of substitution dynamical systems we consider primitive aperiodic substitutions and associated dynamical systems: ${\mathbb Z}$-actions and ${\mathbb R}$-actions, the latter viewed as tiling flows.…
We study a binary Thue--Morse-type sequence arising from the base-$3/2$ expansion of integers, an archetypal automatic sequence in a rational base numeration system. Because the sequence is generated by a periodic iteration of morphisms…
The spectrum of a weighted Dirac comb on the Thue-Morse quasicrystal is investigated, and characterized up to a measure zero set, by means of the Bombieri-Taylor conjecture, for Bragg peaks, and of another conjecture that we call…
We regard the classic Thue--Morse diffraction measure as an equilibrium measure for a potential function with a logarithmic singularity over the doubling map. Our focus is on unusually fast scaling of the Birkhoff sums (superlinear) and of…
We prove that a positive-definite measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with uniformly discrete support and discrete closed spectrum, is representable as a finite linear combination of Dirac combs, translated and modulated. This extends our recent…
We study the electronic and dynamic properties of a one-dimensional Thue-Morse chain within the framework of the transfer model. By means of direct diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix we first show that the trace map of the transfer…
We discuss how the diffraction theory of a single translation bounded measure or a family of such measures can be understood within the framework of unitary group representations. This allows us to prove an orthogonality feature of measures…
We prove that projectivised finite-dimensional linear random dynamical systems possess a unique finest weak Morse decomposition. Based on this result, we define the Morse spectrum and investigate its basic properties. In particular, we show…
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum of the…
