Spectral decimation on Hambly's homogeneous hierarchical gaskets (Q610632): Difference between revisions

Using the so-called ``spectral decimation'', the authors establish a frame on Hambly's homogeneous hierarchical gaskets. There are 5 sections in this paper: 1. Introduction -- some definitions are given: a hierarchical fractal; the concept of finitely ramified: the homogeneous hierarchical gasket, denoted by \(HH(b)\); a fractal \(\Gamma\) realized as a limit of a sequence of graphs \(\Gamma_0,\Gamma_1,\dots\) with vertices \(V_0\subseteq V_1\subseteq\cdots\). Take \(V_0= \{q_0,q_2, q_2\}\), as vertices of a triangle, considered as the boundary of a \(HH(b)\), then the un-renormalized energy \(E_m(u)\) of a function on \(V_m\); renormalized energy \(\mathbb{E}_m(u)\); energy on \(HH(b)\); \(E(u)= \lim_{m\to\infty} \mathbb{E}_m(u)\); a bilinear form \(E(u,v)\) as well as the standard Laplacian \(\Delta u\). 2. The spectral decimation on \(SG_3\), the usual Sierpiński gasket. 3. Dirichlet and Neumann spectra for \(SG_3\). 4. Spectral decimation on homogeneous hierarchical gaskets. 5. Spectral gaps. As applications, the paper shows that these spectra have infinitely many large spectral gaps. And under certain restrictions, a computer-assisted proof that the set of ratios of eigenvalues has gaps, implying the existence of quasi-elliptic PDE's on the product of two such fractals.
