A fractafold, a space that is locally modeled on a specified fractal, is the fractal equivalent of a manifold. For compact fractafolds based on the Sierpinski gasket, it was shown by the first author how to compute the discrete spectrum of…
The method of spectral decimation is applied to an infinite collection of self--similar fractals. The sets considered belong to the class of nested fractals, and are thus very symmetric. An explicit construction is given to obtain formulas…
We present a new approach to the theory of k-forms on self-similar fractals. We work out the details for two examples, the standard Sierpinski gasket and the 3-dimensional Sierpinski gasket, but the method is expected to be effective for…
We introduce self-similar versions of the one-dimensional almost Mathieu operators. Our definition is based on a class of self-similar Laplacians instead of the standard discrete Laplacian, and includes the classical almost Mathieu…

On the unit interval (I), and the Sierpinski Gasket ($\mathcal{SG}$), the spectral decimation function of the Laplacian has similar properties that result in positive minimum spacing of eigenvalues. Other fractals, for example the level-3…
The spectral zeta function of the Laplacian on self-similar fractal sets has been previously studied and shown to meromorphically extend to the complex plane. In this work we establish under certain conditions a relationship between the…
