Entropy of Gaussian actions for countable Abelian groups
We give lower and upper estimates of the capacity of self-similar measures generated by iterated function systems where are bi-lipschitzean transformations.
We study a generalized notion of a homogeneous skew-product extension of a probability-preserving system in which the homogeneous space fibres are allowed to vary over the ergodic decomposition of the base. The construction of such extensions rests on a simple notion of 'direct integral' for a 'measurable family' of homogeneous spaces, which has a number of precedents in older literature. The main contribution of the present paper is the systematic development of a formalism for handling such extensions,...
