Tangent measure distributions of fractal measures (Q1271220)

Tangent measure distributions were introduced by \textit{C. Bandt} [Lecture at the 5th Conference on Real Analysis and Measure Theory, Capri, 1992 (per. bibl.)] and \textit{S. Graf} [Monatsh. Math. 120, No. 3-4, 223-246 (1995; Zbl 0841.28011)], who proved that the tangent measure distributions of any self-similar measure are the same at almost all points and the tangent measure distributions can be explicitly described as scaling invariant Palm measures. In the paper under review, the authors show that for every measure \(\mu\) on \({\mathbb R}^d\) and any dimension \(\alpha\), at \(\mu\)-almost every point \(x \in {\mathbb R}^d\), all \(\alpha\)-dimensional tangent measure distributions are Palm measures. Applications of this result to average densities are given.
