Cutting-Decimation Renormalization for diffusive and vibrational dynamics on fractals

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 exact decimation invariance for these structures, which turn out to be invariant under a more complex cutting-decimation transform. In this paper we study in details the dynamical dimension splitting on these fractals analyzing the mathematical properties of the cutting-decimation transform. Our results clarify how the splitting arises from the cutting transform and show that the dynamical dimension degeneration is a very peculiar consequence of exact decimability.

Diffusion on non exactly decimable tree-like fractals

We calculate the spectral dimension of a wide class of tree-like fractals by solving the random walk problem through a new analytical technique, based on invariance under generalized cutting-decimation transformations. These fractals are generalizations of the NTD lattices and they are characterized by non integer spectral dimension equal or greater then 2, non anomalous diffusion laws, dynamical dimension splitting and absence of phase transitions for spin models.
