Bessel sequences of exponentials on fractal measures

Abstract

Jorgensen and Pedersen have proven that a certain fractal measure $ν$ has no infinite set of complex exponentials which form an orthonormal set in $L^2(ν)$. We prove that any fractal measure $μ$ obtained from an affine iterated function system possesses a sequence of complex exponentials which forms a Riesz basic sequence, or more generally a Bessel sequence, in $L^2(μ)$ such that the frequencies have positive Beurling dimension.
