In this work, we examine the relationship between geometry and spectrum of regions with fractal boundary. The relationship is well-understood for fractal harps in one dimension, but largely open for fractal drums in larger dimensions. To…

Fractal geometry is the study of sets which exhibit the same pattern at multiple scales. Developing tools to study these sets is of great interest. One step towards developing some of these tools is recognizing the duality between…

The study of Julia sets gives a new and natural way to look at fractals. When mathematicians investigated the special class of Misiurewicz's rational maps, they found out that there is a Julia set which is homeomorphic to a well known…

The full one sided shift space over finite symbols is approximated by an increasing sequence of finite subsets of the space. The Laplacian on the space is then defined as a renormalised limit of the difference operators defined on these…

We introduce a family of post-critically finite fractal trees indexed by the number of branches they possess. Then we produce a Laplacian operator on graph approximations to these fractals and use spectral decimation to describe the…

Recently, we pointed out that on a class on non exactly decimable fractals two different parameters are required to describe diffusive and vibrational dynamics. This phenomenon we call dynamical dimension splitting is related to the lack of…

We define and study pseudo-differential operators on a class of fractals that include the post-critically finite self-similar sets and Sierpinski carpets. Using the sub-Gaussian estimates of the heat operator we prove that our operators…

It is known that Laplacian operators on many fractals have gaps in their spectra. This fact precludes the possibility that a Weyl-type ratio can have a limit and is also a key ingredient in proving that the Fourier series on such fractals…

We study higher order tangents and higher order Laplacians on p.c.f. self-similar sets with fully symmetric structures, such as $D3$ or $D4$ symmetric fractals. Firstly, let $x$ be a vertex point in the graphs that approximate the fractal,…
