Hadamard triples generate self-affine spectral measures

Let $R$ be an expanding matrix with integer entries and let $B,L$ be finite integer digit sets so that $(R,B,L)$ form a Hadamard triple on ${\br}^d$ in the sense that the matrix $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{|\det R|}}\left[e^{2πi \langle R^{-1}b,\ell\rangle}\right]_{\ell\in L,b\in B} $$ is unitary. We prove that the associated fractal self-affine measure $μ= μ(R,B)$ obtained by an infinite convolution of atomic measures $$ μ(R,B) = δ_{R^{-1} B}\astδ_{R^{-2}B}\astδ_{R^{-3}B}\ast... $$ is a spectral measure, i.e., it admits an orthonormal basis of exponential functions in $L^2(μ)$. This settles a long-standing conjecture proposed by Jorgensen and Pedersen and studied by many other authors. Moreover, we also show that if we relax the Hadamard triple condition to an almost-Parseval-frame condition, then we obtain a sufficient condition for a self-affine measure to admit Fourier frames.

Hadamard triples generate self-affine spectral measures

Let $R$ be an expanding matrix with integer entries and let $B,L$ be finite integer digit sets so that $(R,B,L)$ form a Hadamard triple on ${\br}^d$. We prove that the associated self-affine measure $μ= μ(R,B)$ is a spectral measure, which means it admits an orthonormal bases of exponential functions in $L^2(μ)$. This settles a long-standing conjecture proposed by Jorgensen and Pedersen and studied by many other authors.

Spectral Properties of Small Hadamard Matrices

We prove that if $A$ and $B$ are Hadamard matrices which are both of size $4 \times 4$ or $5 \times 5$ and in dephased form, then $tr(A) = tr(B)$ implies that $A$ and $B$ have the same eigenvalues, including multiplicity. We calculate explicitly the spectrum for these matrices. We also extend these results to larger Hadamard matrices which are permutations of the Fourier matrix and calculate their spectral multiplicities.

Atomic representations of Cuntz algebras

To a representation of $Ø_N$ (the Cuntz algebra with $N$ generators) we associate a projection valued measure and we study the case when this measure has atoms. The main technical tool are the spaces invariant for all the operators $S_i^*$. We classify the purely atomic representations and find when such representations are permutative. Applications include: wavelet representations, representations generated by finitely correlated states, representation associated to Hadamard triples (or fractal spectral measures) and representations associated to generalized Walsh bases.

Local translations associated to spectral sets

In connection to the Fuglede conjecture, we study groups of local translations associated to spectral sets, i.e., measurable sets in $\br$ or $\bz$ that have an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. We investigate the connections between the groups of local translations on $\bz$ and on $\br$ and present some examples for low cardinality. We present some relations between the group of local translations and tilings.

Tiling properties of spectra of measures

We investigate tiling properties of spectra of measures, i.e., sets $Λ$ in $\br$ such that $\{e^{2πi λx}: λ\inΛ\}$ forms an orthogonal basis in $L^2(μ)$, where $μ$ is some finite Borel measure on $\br$. Such measures include Lebesgue measure on bounded Borel subsets, finite atomic measures and some fractal Hausdorff measures. We show that various classes of such spectra of measures have translational tiling properties. This lead to some surprizing tiling properties for spectra of fractal measures, the existence of complementing sets and spectra for finite sets with the Coven-Meyerowitz property, the existence of complementing Hadamard pairs in the case of Hadamard pairs of size 2,3,4 or 5. In the context of the Fuglede conjecture, we prove that any spectral set is a tile, if the period of the spectrum is 2,3,4 or 5.
