Absolute continuity in families of parametrised non-homogeneous self-similar measures (Q6057126)

Summary: Let \(\mu\) be a planar self-similar measure with similarity dimension exceeding \(1\), satisfying a mild separation condition, and such that the fixed points of the associated similitudes do not share a common line. Then, we prove that the orthogonal projections \(\pi_{e\sharp}(\mu)\) are absolutely continuous for all \(e \in S^1 \setminus E\), where the exceptional set \(E\) has zero Hausdorff dimension. The result is obtained from a more general framework which applies to certain parametrised families of self-similar measures on the real line. Our results extend the previous work of Shmerkin and Solomyak from 2016, where it was assumed that the similitudes associated with \(\mu\) have a common contraction ratio.
